Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019

Das Weingut verfolgt eine nachhaltige Weinbauphilosophie und arbeitet eng mit den verschiedenen Weinbergen in Napa Valley zusammen, um Trauben von höchster Qualität zu erzeugen. So ist der 2019er ein Blend aus 93 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Petit Verdot und 2 % Malbec und stammt aus den eigenen Weinbergen in Stags Leap, Oak Knoll, Napa Valley, St. Helena und Rutherford.

Der Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019 ist ein hochintensiver Rotwein von bemerkenswerter Tiefe und Komplexität. Er präsentiert sich in der Nase mit Aromen von reifen dunklen Beeren, Cassis, Pflaumen und schwarzen Kirschen, begleitet von Noten von Tabak, Gewürzen, Erde, Graphit und Zedernholz. Am Gaumen zeigt er eine harmonische Balance zwischen Frucht, Säure und Tanninen. Der Wein entfaltet dabei eine weitere Vielzahl von Geschmacksrichtungen, darunter dunkle Schokolade, Espresso, Vanille und einem Hauch von Rauch. Das lange Finish ist beeindruckend und zeigt die außergewöhnliche Qualität dieses Weins. Man hat hier das Gefühl, in einen Ozean von Aromen einzutauchen, in dem es unendlich viel zu entdecken gilt!

Der Joseph Phelps Insignia 2019 zählt zweifellos zu den Spitzenweinen aus Kalifornien. Die Qualität dieses begehrten Sammler-Weins zeigt sich in seiner tiefen Komplexität, seiner ausgewogenen Struktur und seinem exzellenten Alterungspotenzial. Er gehört zu den besten Bordeaux-Blends, die Kalifornien zu bieten hat, und repräsentiert die meisterhafte Handwerkskunst des Weinguts Joseph Phelps Vineyards.

Product recommendation

Zalto Dekanter Axium, mundgeblasen
Was ist ein Dekanter?Ein Dekanter wird benutzt, damit ein Wein sich besser entfalten kann. Die Zalto Glasmanufaktur hebt dies mit ihrem Dekanter auf ein neues Level. Der handgearbeitete, mundgeblasene Dekanter Axium besteht aus bleioxidfreiem Glas. So kommt es im Laufe der Zeit nicht zu Trübung. Die leicht bauchige Form hilft dem Wein dabei besser belüftet zu werden. Dadurch kann sich das Bouquet und der Geschmack des Weins noch intensiver entfalten.Die Benutzung des Dekanter Axium eignet sich hervorragend für Rotweine oder gehaltvolle Weißweine.Höhe: 20,4 mlVolumen: 1450 ml

Pym Rae Napa Valley 2018
The winery was founded by the brilliant actor Robin Williams, who named it after the middle names of his children Pym and Rae. In 2016, the Bordelais-based Tesseron family bought this vineyard in Napa Valley, located on Mount Veeder, which only covers around 8 hectares. Alfred Tesseron, one of the grand seigneurs in Bordeaux, had already taken Château Pontet-Canet in Pauillac to unimagined heights by being the first producer in Bordeaux to introduce biodynamics and resolutely and rigidly adhering to the principle of "back to nature". This was done in his very individual way, always striving for the very highest quality.You can expect nothing less from PYM-RAE. In 2016, purely organic work was immediately introduced here too and the son of the technical director of Pontet-Canet, Thomas Comme, is in charge. The consultant is star oenologist Michel Rolland, himself now a legend. "Manual work" is the motto at PYM-RAE; the vines are on average 29 years old and the grapes and must are treated with exceptional care in the cellar. No pumps are used and extraction is very gentle, not least because of the extremely small vats.PYM-RAE is composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc and thus corresponds to a classic Bordeaux cuvée. Hand-picked and matured for 16 months in 70% new French oak barrels and 30% in small concrete tanks, PYM-RAE is given the finishing touches.The result is a stunning grape juice of majestic proportions, of which unfortunately only a few bottles find their way to Europe.The wine is characterized by a great deal of fruit, elegance and silky tannins, with incredible depth and opulence. In addition to the plum, blackberry and blueberry aromas, paired with cassis, there are also notes of violets, chocolate, cigar box, mint, cocoa and olives.This "American Beauty" with French roots is best enjoyed solo over the next 40 years, or with a good steak or game board. Very curious wine lovers should decant it for about 1 1/2 hours beforehand. Incidentally, "solo" does not mean that you can't share the wine with good friends!

Stag's Leap S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon
Robert Parker enthuses about the S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon, describing it as offering ‘sweet tannins, a succulent, fleshy mouthfeel, beautiful concentration and texture, and a long finish result in a sumptuous, irresistible mouthful of Cabernet Sauvignon’.The S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon has a fascinatingly multi-faceted bouquet offering aromas of cocoa powder, blackberries, currants and blueberries, which harmonize perfectly with a lovely spice. On the palate, the Stag’s Leap Vineyards is opulent and concentrated, with simultaneously powerful and round tannins. Notes of black currants and sweet oak characterize its finish.The wonderfully structured tannins, the lush fruit and the pleasant minerality signal the exceptional storage capability of this Cabernet Sauvignon from California. The Stag‘s Leap Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon matured for 21 months in new French oak casks. The grapes of individual parcels of land were vinified separately and only blended at the end of the barrel ageing.The S.L.V. (Stag‘s Leap Vineyards) wines are legendary. The exemplary vintage passed without any erratic weather conditions, providing the wine-growers with exceptional grapes and resulting in the S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon wine which Robert Parker simply calls ‘a beauty’.

Quintessa Napa Valley 2019
The wines that Agustin and Valeria Huneeus have been producing since 1989 at their Quintessa winery in Rutherford, in the heart of Napa Valley, could actually be merciless competitors to Opus One, Napa's flagship. But Quintessa is taking a less publicized, quieter approach, so Quintessa still flies "under the radar" in terms of name recognition. Wine connoisseurs benefit from this, as the quality of this grape juice is "outstanding", but the price, compared to Opus One, is not yet.And the 2019 Quintessa has also once again become a wine trouvaille, which was remarkably rated 99/100 points by James Suckling and received the high score of 100/100 points from WineEnthusiast.91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 2% Carménère and 1% Petit Verdot make up the cuvée, which matured in 60% new French oak for 22 months.The nose shows an incredibly vibrant picture of the elements of flowers, forest, fruit and earth. Spices, walnut, black fruit, sweet cherry, cassis and wood complement each other to form a complex, extremely sensual whole, with silky tannins, good fat, great structure and an eternally lingering echo.This wine offers seemingly endless aromas to be discovered, but is not "cerebral" in the sense that it is incomprehensible. It is too seductive for that and it is all the more remarkable that it is already accessible and ready to drink now, but will probably remain so for another 30 years.An ideal gift for wine connoisseurs and those who simply appreciate outstanding grape juice at its finest.A mature achievement!
