„... sehr komplexe, intensive aber sehr schön balancierte Nase, Grafite, etwas Tabak, Cassis, warm am Gaumen, sehr schöne Struktur mit großer Balance, sehr fein, langes Finale.“ (2022)

96+ POINTS

The 2019 Insignia is showing beautifully today. Dark red-toned fruit, spice, leather and floral overtones all meld together in the glass. There's good tension, but this is very much a young Insignia that drinks well on the younger side, perhaps the result of slightly generous yields. The blend is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Vineyard sites are Yountville, Banca Dorada, Suscol, Home Ranch, Las Rocas, Barboza and El Venadito. Overall, the 2019 is a very easygoing, user-friendly Insignia. Aging was 24 months in new French oak.

James Suckling

98 POINTS

A very aromatic Insignia with pencil-shaving and graphite highlights to the dark fruit and blackberries. Full-bodied, yet tensioned and vertical, with very fine tannins that run deep and layered in the wine. Needs time to come together, but fantastic tension and structure. Try after 2027. (2022)

Jeb Dunnuck

96-98 POINTS

Much more expressive and complex compared to the backward, masculine Backus Vineyard (which is common when comparing these two cuvées), the 2019 Insignia offers a gorgeous perfume of crème de cassis, chocolate, lavender, dried flowers, tobacco, and leafy herbs. Possessing full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless texture, gorgeous tannins, and just a classy, balanced character, this beauty is going to shine with just 3-4 years of bottle age yet still cruise in cold cellars for 30 years. It actually reminds me slightly of the 1997. (2021)

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

97 POINTS

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec, the 2019 Insignia is deep garnet-purple colored. It needs a shake or two before the glass combusts with atomic scents of creme de cassis, blueberry preserves, and stewed black cherries, followed by subtle suggestions of cedar chest, pencil lead, iron ore, and crushed rocks, plus a waft of cloves. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, the palate delivers compelling poise led by firm, fine-grained tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing with epic length. (2022)
