2 people found it helpfulSep 20th, 2015Purchased this wine a little over six years ago. In a really nice spot right now. Served pop and pour, this wine was displaying kind of an awkward combo of roasted, spicy black and purple fruit with a weedy kind of character. The fruit seemed to be kind of young and sweet, bordering almost 'jammy'...first impression wasn't that great. After an hour, this one was rocking. Nose and palate of black fruit, black licorice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Turned darker in the middle. Finishes with good acidity, tannin softening but actually has great acidity on the finish and a nice black pepper bite. I think this one is right in the drinking window right now, but will probably continue to appreciate over the next 5-7 years. I think the 2014-2026 CT best window is shockingly right on the money although I will definitely say that this one probably needs an hour to stretch its legs before you dive in.

the wine drinks to me like it can age for another five years. 2009 vintage just by personal tasting theory was an excellent year for coach insignia. Could be little a hot for other people's taste but i think they did a good job of balancing it. Nice ripe dark plum and dark cherry, with a nice combination of vanilla on the nose and palate. Super big body with pronounced tannins. I taste the wine a second day it's drinking even better. The ripe fruits you got from the first day of drinking are slowly turning into savory herbaceous notes. Lovely example of a coach felps insignia Napa wine

Jun 15th, 2016Nose of black cherry and currant. Notes of cedar and currant. Perfect time to open but could last much longer.
