Director of winemaking Damian Parker describes 2008 as an erratic year in which shatter during the flowering thinned the clusters and the summer brought better weather than the tricky spring. Two thousand nine, he went on, was a cooler year in general, but Phelps was lucky enough to harvest its Bacchus vineyard and nearly all of the fruit normally earmarked for the Insignia prior to the heavy October rainstorm. Incidentally, roughly 36,000 of the winery's 50,000-case production is accounted for by the Napa Valley cabernet and the Insignia bottling.
