Reconnu par les amateurs de vin du monde entier

Came here recently for a second visit, so the experience is still fresh in my mind. Joseph Phelps is a premier Napa tasting room while keeping it relatively casual. You still need an appointment to get in, but after that, you're not kept on a schedule or rushed by any means. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. If you want to know more about the wine, they'll give you the spiel. Otherwise, they aren't snooty about it if you're new to wine. Phelps has a great variety of reds, of which the Insignia is the best you can taste at the winery, which goes for about $200-250 depending on the vintage. (They also have a red called Backus that is not available for tasting.) The Insignia is some of the best reds I've ever had. I also really enjoyed their Syrah and Pinot Noirs. Though Phelps is known for its red wines, they also make some great whites. They also make a great dessert wine called Eisrebe, which they make in the ice wine style (by freezing the grapes since it's too hot for natural freezing). Their wine club is also a pretty good deal. You get 20% off as a member, which is a lot if you're considering getting the Insignia. This is also the only way you can get the Backus. The cheapest club level is about $550 for the year w/o the Backus, around $750-$800 if you get the Backus. If you become a club member, you get tickets to their release party as well as complimentary tastings and the blending class. The tasting prices at Joseph Phelps is on the high end

A bit expensive but is worth

Join the wine club! It is superb and they could not be nicer people.

Gorgeous vineyard & great wine of equal propotion!

Excellent tour and tasting. We went first thing in the morning and the views were absolutely stunning. Wine very good, our group favorite was the Rosé. Would definitely reccommend checking it out.

A great family run winery and a great tasting experience. Are there any wineries or grapes north of this? The property is very impressive, with steep trellised hills of grapes. The tasting was in the cave, the wines are outstanding. I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful setting, tiny vineyard with friendly staff. fabulous wines with prices to match. By appointment only
