Joseph Phelps Insignia 2002-2004 3 Year Vertical Collection
Joseph Phelps Insignia Vertical 2002-2004
2002 Insignia
100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2002 boasts an inky/purple color along with notes of graphite, violets, blackberries, creme de cassis, and hints of charcoal and barbecue in addition to a full-bodied, multilayered mouthfeel that builds incrementally with great purity, staggering fruit concentration, and a long, velvety, 50+-second finish. This prodigious effort should continue to drink well for 20+ years. (RP) (11/2013)
2003 Insignia
96 points Wine Enthusiast
One of the first, if not the first, of the proprietarily named Napa Bordeaux blends, Phelps Insignia has been one of California’s greatest Cabs for decades. This is their 30th anniversary bottling, and it’s worthy of the tradition. Ultrarich and smooth, with a mouthfeel that’s pure velvet, it’s fairly thick in tannins now, suggesting cellaring. But it’s huge in blackberry, dark unsweetened chocolate, and spicy plum fruit, and will easily hold for a very long time. *Top 100 of 2007, Cellar Selection* (3/2007)
2004 Insignia
97 Wine Enthusiast
... right down the middle of the palate is a deep, intensely powerful stream of perfectly ripened cassis that’s all the proof you need of ageability. This is a magnificently structured young wine, reminiscent of a fine young Pauillac.
95 points Robert M. Parker Jr.
A flashy, exuberant style for Phelps, with dense ruby/purple color, a gorgeous nose of creme de cassis, incense, licorice, smoke, and spice, the wine has supple tannins, a flamboyant, full-bodied mouthfeel, and tremendous length.

2018 Celani Family Vineyards Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
2018 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: The 2018 Celani Family Vineyards Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from the Lynne's Vineyard and aged in 75% new French oak barrels for 20 months. Mount Veeder is noted for its rugged mountain terrain, and Cabernets expressing concentration, rich tannins, and age-ability. The Celani Mount Veeder is all that and more!
This wine is monumentally aromatic with gobs of focused red and purple fruits, black cherries, red currants, pencil lead, wild plums, bramble, and raspberry liqueur. Interlacing complex notes of crushed quartz, chocolate, licorice, and roasted tree nuts weave their way through this elegant wine. Velvety lush flavors of raspberries and cherries resonate strongly for this mountain-grown Cabernet, showcasing the extraordinary balance of fruit, acid, and tannin. Drink this delicious wine over the next 15 years.

"Walking in the Manistee National Forest near Bitely, MI on a beautiful Fall day, I breathed in the trees’ golden tones and slanting sun rays. Witch hazel accented the mixed, mostly deciduous forest with spiky yellow flowers. Looking down, I noticed this stunning story: a presumably burned-out, castled stump, confetti-ed with fallen leaves and festooned with healthy new growth. I exhaled and took some photos."

Mixed Bottle Pack of Sequoia Grove 2015 Napa Valley Merlot and our 2018 Napa Valley Chardonnay (3 each)
MERLOT:
This Merlot pops out of the glass with aromas of fresh berries, blackberry pie, nutmeg, baking spices, and roasted strawberry. The medium-bodied palate is round and smooth with fresh acidity and a soft finish. Age 5-8 years.
HARVEST & WINEMAKING
Harvest 2015 was one of our earliest years on record. The persistent California drought and a cool spring during bloom led to low yields in the vineyard and an early bud break. Careful irrigation and canopy management were key and allowed our growers to maximize quality and create beautifully ripe and balanced fruit. The wines resulting from the 2015 vintage are some of our favorite to date.
CHARDONNAY:
Aromas abound in this wine, with hints of tropical fruit like pineapple and guava followed by a floral note. On the palate, this Chardonnay has flavors of lemon zest, honeysuckle, and pound cake. This balanced Chardonnay combines generous fruit with lively acidity. The finish is energetic and full with hints of toasted nuts and custard.
91 Points, James Suckling
94 Points, Tasting Panel
HARVEST & WINEMAKING
The 2018 vintage was late, long, and bountiful. In fact, 2018 was a record tonnage year for Sequoia Grove due to the perfect weather. The year started out with heavy rains and cool weather, resulting in late bud break to start the season. Good weather during flowering contributed to even fruit set and ripening. Temperatures were steady and ideal throughout the growing season, leading to incredibly balanced wines with bright, food-friendly acidity. This mild weather allowed for excellent growing conditions for Chardonnay, resulting in beautifully ripened grapes with fresh fruit character, moderate alcohol,and balanced acidity.

Two Magnums of 2019 Venge Vineyards Scout's Honor Proprietary Blend, Napa Valley
This delicious red blend honors our late and beloved Labrador Retriever, Scout. This wine is based on a tradition of producing a full-bodied and delicious red wine. We start with a base of old-vine Zinfandel and build upon that with dry-farmed Petite Sirah, old-vine Charbono, and finish with mountain vineyard Syrah. The result is an unpretentious, generous mouthful
of red wine that we recommend be opened and enjoyed immediately upon release.
This vintage has a gorgeous, concentrated assemblage of violets, anise, honeysuckle, blue herbs, and a touch of vanillin. The palate is pure richness with loads black fruits and currants, pepper spice, and an enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono, and Petite Sirah. A seamless balance and mouth coating deliciousness lead to a wine that is
quite pleasing to the senses. Cellared correctly it will age for 5 to 8 years.
IN THE VINEYARD
Harvest was normal due to a steady growing season, taking place between September 28th and October 21st, with an average Brix of 27.8 degrees. Grapes were farmed and harvested from four single vineyards in Napa Valley. The Zinfandel was picked from two, old-vine (60 to 100+ years old), dry-farmed vineyard sources: Venge’s newly acquired “Signal Fire Vineyard” estate, and the Frediani Vineyard—both located in the heart of Calistoga. The Charbono is from old, dry-farmed vines (60 to 100+ years old) also planted in the Frediani Vineyard. Robbie Mondavi’s Oso Vineyard located on Howell Mountain supplies the Petite Sirah—we love this site! And, Napa’s finest Syrah from Stagecoach Vineyard, high in the mountains of the Atlas Peak AVA, completes the blend.
IN THE CELLAR
The small, individual lots of fruit were destemmed into a combination of stainless steel tanks and open-top fermenters, where whole-berry fermentation took place for an average of 20 days. The wine was barrel-aged for 14 months in 50% new American Oak and the balance in once used tight grain French Oak. No conventional pumps were used in the making of this
wine. Only diaphragm air pumps, forced air pressure movement or bulldogging, and transfers by gravity were employed to preserve the pure fruit integrity in the wine.

1 bottle Freemark Abbey 2016 Bosche Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and 1 bottle Freemark Abbey 2019 Chardonnay
CABERNET SAUVIGNON:
Dark ruby in color, the fruit in the aroma is black cherry, blueberry and red raspberry. The bright fruit is complimented with dark chocolate, black pepper, forest floor, aromatic cedar and leather notes. The oak spice is integrated, adding to the overall complexity. The texture on the palate has a smooth entry, with dark cherry flavor. The tannins are well resolved yet promise the ability for long aging. The fruit acidity provides a very pleasant long finish.
100% Bosche Vineyard, a small 22-acre vineyard located west of Hwy. 29, on the famed Rutherford Bench, the Bosché Vineyard has very deep gravelly soils. A seasonal creek crosses the vineyard which indicates the water table to be high in the spring, providing water and nutrients for new shoot growth. As veraison approaches the water table drops, stressing the wines and intensifying the dark velvety fruit flavors. This is a natural area to grow Bordeaux varietals with dry farming or minimal drip irrigation.
Life span in a proper cellar 20-30 years.
CHARDONNAY:
The 2019 Napa Valley Chardonnay is a rich, nuanced and complex wine. The nose opens with aromas of baked apple, creamy meringue, ripe pineapple, mandarin orange, and fresh peach. The palate is supple, balanced and integrated and exhibits flavors of tropical nectar, orange marmalade, baking spices, ambrosia and vanilla. It is at once vibrant and balanced while being creamy with a long, lingering finish.
Primary Vineyards:
Ahmann Vineyard—Carneros: Located in Carneros near the Huichica Creek, this vineyard has the unique attributes of a cool growing season complemented by long slow ripening. The vineyard creates flavors of apple and citrus with the preservation of acidity and a low pH. Clone 76 and Clone 96.
Rancho Sarco: Located in the Coombsville AVA, on the north east border of the town of Napa, the soil is a gravelly clay loam that supports a variety of grapes. This chardonnay ripens to produce flavors of pineapple, apple, peach and banana. Clone 4.
Keyes Vineyard—Howell Mountain: Located near the town of Angwin, at roughly 1850 ft elevation. The mountainous soil is predominantly volcanic, shallow with low fertility, producing Chardonnay that expresses citrus and stone fruit flavors with a crispness and distinct minerality. Clone 96 and Clone 15.
Huichica Vineyard—Carneros: Located off of Duhig Road, in the Napa Carneros AVA, this beautiful vineyard resides on gently sloping hillside with 8x4 spacing. The vines are planted in sedimentary clay loam and experience the cool marine breezes from the San Pablo Bay.

Tasting for 4 at Flora Springs and 2017 Trilogy Magnum
Trilogy is Flora Springs’ flagship wine, one that dates back to 1984 when our family decided to make the finest wine possible by selecting the highest quality wine lots culled from our estate vineyards in Napa Valley. Back then it was one of Napa Valley’s first proprietary red blends, and today this Bordeaux-style wine continues to be sourced from our own Komes-Garvey estate vineyards. In 2017 this iconic wine brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec grown in Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominates at 80% of the blend, yielding a deep purple-black wine that offers warm notes of black plum, black cherry, and cassis layered with mocha, hints of tobacco, cola, and wild herbs. The flavors are mouthcoating and generous, but the wine retains a freshness due to lovely acidity and sleek tannins. The mix of French and American oak adds spice and notes of vanilla crème that linger on a satisfying finish. This is a beautiful Napa Cab, ideal with a NY strip steak or other favorite cut. Eggplant parmesan would also make a nice match, as would a slow-braised lamb or beef dish.

Century Tour and Library Tasting for 6 guests at Ridge Vineyards in Healdsburg and a magnum of 2018 Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel
After several early harvests, 2018 began on September 4th, a more typical start-date for Sonoma County. Natural yeast fermentations were slow but steady. Color and tannin were plentiful after just three days of maceration. To manage tannin extraction, we limited pumpovers to once a day for all petite sirah and many zinfandel lots. While approachable as a young wine, this full, rich zinfandel will age beautifully for at least ten years.
Blackberry, pepper and licorice notes on nose. Full-bodied with ripe plum, well integrated tannins and long, lingering finish. JO (6/20)
