The '05 Joseph Phelps Insignia from Napa Valley may only be labeled as simply a "dry red wine," but it combines memorable tastes of (predominately) cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot and retails for around $179/bottle. The blend exudes a brilliant darkened ruby color, and although big in flavor, is very smooth to the taking. You'll definitley taste combination of flavors, like black cherry, currant, blackberries, and even a little dose of pepper.Considering this is a full-bodied red, you'll be delighted that its tannin levels are not overly powerly, nor is the combination powerfully acidic. Grab a bottle for your loved one, or for someone celebrating something special - its the perfect option to sip by the fireside or hold off and drink years down the road.
