Joseph Phelps, Insignia--Vintage 2001
Napa Valley
The Royal Dragon protecting the flaming pearl of wisdom was originally created for Jackie Chan. The intense attention to minute details of the multi-layered carving create the dynamic tension in this work of art. The 9mm pearl is bezel set in 18k gold then channel inlaid in the bottle.
"The flagship wine, the 2001 Insignia Proprietary Wine, an 18,000-case blend of 89 Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 Petit Verdot, and 3 Malbec, continues to live up to my high praise from last year. Rich, elegant, and nuanced, this dense ruby/purple wine offers a nose of creme de cassis, incense, licorice, chocolate, and spice box. It is full-bodied, opulently styled with plenty of tannin, but the structural aspects of the wine are well-concealed by its intensity and overall richness. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #157 (Feb 2005)
