It has an incredible bouquet of cassis, currants, dark chocolate, lead pencil, and tobacco, and while it's unquestionably Napa, it has a regal, structured, almost Bordeaux-like vibe as well. Full-bodied, perfectly balanced, and layered on the palate, with silky tannins, this quintessential Insignia is up with the finest vintages of this cuvée I've tasted and is in the same realm as the 1997 (the first vintage I bought for my personal cellar), 2001, 2002, 2007, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016.\" JD Dec 2021 ","brand":"Joseph Phelps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49666361229549,"sku":"USR:PHE:JPIN-6000-2018-F0L0C0","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/USRPHEJPIN-6000-2018-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1774541222"},{"product_id":"1978-joseph-phelps-eisele-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-bottle-750ml-bin-soiled-label","title":"1978 Joseph Phelps, Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml) [Top Shoulder, Slightly Bin Soiled Label]","description":"RP96 \"This wine is still black\/purple in color, with a blossoming bouquet of minerals, cassis, flowers, and oak.
