Joseph Phelps Vineyards

St. Helena, California

Enamored with the beautiful Napa Valley, Joseph Phelps left the construction business in 1973, bought a 600-acre cattle ranch in Spring Valley, and began planting vineyards. In 1974 the winery was completed, and the first Insignia was produced. Nearly four decades later, the Joseph Phelps flagship wine, Insignia, is recognized as one of the world’s great wines.
