Joseph Phelps Vineyards is a wine producer focused on estate-grown wines, based in Saint Helena, Napa Valley. Founded in 1973 after Joe Phelps purchased a former cattle ranch, the estate now farms about 375 acres across eight Napa Valley vineyards and an additional 100 acres on the Sonoma Coast near Freestone for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The winery is best known for Insignia, its flagship red Bordeaux-style blend first produced in 1974. The portfolio includes Insignia, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Delice from Napa, alongside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast, reflecting a focus on premium, estate-controlled wines for discerning consumers and specialty retailers. In 2022, the winery was acquired by LVMH, signaling a shift in ownership within the luxury wine sector.
