The 2011 Insignia is superb. Deep, layered and so expressive, Insignia is without question one of the wines of the year. Had I tasted it blind, I would have never guessed it is a wine from a challenging year. Still fresh and vibrant, the 2011 is such a pleasure to taste today. Hints of sage, tobacco, spice, menthol and pine add lovely aromatic top notes to a core of inky blue/purplish fruit. The 2011 has turned out even better than I had originally expected.

Vino Joe

Took some time to open and broaden. Benefitted from a 60 minute decant. Still tight for a CA Cab though. It was enjoyable but a bit too subdued. Especially compared to other vintages.

Unbelievable. Many layers. I love it.

Skip Smyser

A 1.5L to celebrate Mother's Day with steak and all the trimmings. Robust tannins with tobacco, dark chocolate and hints of minerality. Great color and a lingering mid pallet aftertaste. Outstanding
