This consignor’s appreciation for fine wine began in his early twenties and evolved into a serious collecting pursuit in 2006. He has carefully curated his cellar through a mix of LCBO releases, Zyn (Calgary), and specialty distributors, alongside hand-carried bottles from his travels across Europe and the U.S. An advocate for proper aging, he stores his collection in a state-of-the-art home wine room. Strict temperature and humidity control has ensured that every bottle has been kept in peak condition since the day it was acquired.
2018 Joseph Phelps Vineyards Insignia from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 99 points, Falstaff Magazine 99 points, Wine Enthusiast 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck 98 points, The Wine Advocate 97 points. This is the tasting note for 2018 Joseph Phelps Vineyards Insignia from Robert Parker - The 2018 Insignia is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard sources this year include - 30% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District),18% Yountville (Oak Knoll District), 13% Banca Dorada (Rutherford), 18% Suscol (South Napa Valley), 14% Home Ranch (St. Helena), 12% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District), 7% Barboza (Stags Leap District). It was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes storming out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, stewed black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of cedar chest, graphite, menthol and wet slate with a fragrant waft of clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate already demonstrates remarkable balance at this youthful stage, featuring a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the tightly wound, crunchy black fruits, finishing long and spicy. 17,000 cases were made.
