Lot #764. Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Insignia 2006

Description: Consists of 1 Half Bottle, 0.375L
Score: 95+ RP.
"The 2006 Insignia (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot; 16,000 cases produced) is a superb effort in this vintage. Another 30+ year wine, it boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as abundant notes of licorice, black currants, charcoal, black olives, and graphite. Full-bodied, pure, and rich with moderately high tannins, it represents a California version of a Bordeaux from Pauillac or St.-Julien." Wine Advocate #186, Dec 2009
Provenance: The Adios Cellar
Notes: Slightly recessed cork capsule, very lightly scuffed label.
