Founded in 1980, Walter Schug earned a reputation during his tenure as Founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made California’s first proprietary Bordeaux-Style blend "Insignia". Ruby with fresh berry aromas and some spice. On the palate cherry & raspberry flavors with sweet spice and oak notes. Lively acidity with good balance medium+ finish ending with spicy tones.

Medium Pinot noir in terms of boldness and flavor. Similar to a very light cab. But take this for granted as my mouth is on fire from hot sauce on taco night. Easy to drink. Fruit forward, light tannins. Not bad. Nice nose. Light oak. 2021. $30
