1997 Joseph Phelps Insignia (1.5L)

"Juicy, lush, fat and sweet, with perfectly ripe fruit, density of flavor, silky textures and a blast of blackberry, cherry, spice, smoke and licorice. This is a true wine of pleasure. A wine of this quality with a production level of close to 18,000 cases is truly quite an accomplishment, when you think about it." 97/100 - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
