Joseph Phelps Vineyards was founded in the early 1970s by Joe Phelps, a visionary who saw untapped potential in Napa Valley’s evolving wine landscape. His relentless drive to push boundaries led to the creation of Insignia, California’s first proprietary red Bordeaux-style blend, which remains a benchmark for excellence nearly fifty years later. Over the decades, the winery has expanded its portfolio to include both Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast wines, showcasing a deep commitment to terroir and innovation. Today, Joseph Phelps Vineyards continues to honor Joe’s pioneering spirit through sustainable farming, thoughtful winemaking, and a dedication to crafting wines that reflect the character of each vintage.
