Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

1999 vintage. Decanted and tasted after four hours. Medium/heavy body. Intense, dark color. Earthy, tannic nose. Plenty of grip and fruit and showing beautiful balance now. Not an Insignia fan but this was excellent and has plenty of quality time left. No rush to crush. 71% Cab, 21% Merlot, 6% PV, 1% Cab Franc, 1% Malbec. 3.5.24. — 23 days ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Red Wine

Full bodied and flavourful. Sweet dark fruits, methol, crushed rock, herbs. Fresh finish with fine grained tannins. To me this has that polished silky Stags Leap feel to it. — a month ago

Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon

Definitely a cab with a peppery nose and dark berries. Light plum forward flavors followed by a tart cherry middle with good tannins ramping up. The after flavors linger without being bitter. I did not taste the bourbon in the forward or mid palate but noticed it in the latter flavor profile. I really liked this wine though it was a bit lacking in complexity. — a month ago
