Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Red Wine

Tannins have settled down. Still super jammy. Oak still a major presence. Hot finish. PV plays an oversized roll. Could easily age another 10.

Omfgggg. Absolutely vibrant and beautiful. Almost all Cabernet with just a touch of Petit Verdot unlike many other years that are more of a Bordeaux blend. The fruit is perfect with incredibly soft tannins and a long finish.

Still young but peaking after 3 hour decant

Drank right after the Delas Lala. Oak presence much more notable here. Some heat. Felt a bit out of balance vs the Syrah.

At 11 years of age, this wine is in fine form. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, a bit of Petit Verdot, a smidgen of Cabernet Franc, and a dash of Malbec. Such a great balance of fruit and secondary flavors. Blackberry, plum, cherry, mocha, cedar, a little tobacco. Super nice, polished finish. A great Saturday night treat.

At Mistral with Patti enjoying one of Henry’s last days

Still too young

En magnum

May be able to age longer but nothing wrong with where it’s at now.
