Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 96
"The 1994 Insignia (a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc) is spectacular. I have had the wine a half-dozen or more times, and it is unquestionably opulent, sexy, flamboyant, explosively rich, concentrated, and a thrill to drink. Already gorgeous, it promises to evolve gracefully for two decades or more. The color is a healthy saturated dark purple. The spicy nose offers aromas of black currants, allspice, pain grille, and soy, with scents of a burning wood fire thrown in for additional complexity. This full-bodied, opulent, dazzling wine is exhilarating to drink."
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
"Here is the wine we would list among our top ten Cabernets of the entire decade in California. It has fruit, richness, depth, incredible mouthfeel and magnificent balance without bombast-all the the things one wants in California Cabernet and cannot often find even in the very highest rated wines."
Wine Spectator 93
"A tremendous wine that combines dark, rich, deeply concentrated flavors with a sense of grace and finesse. This is still a bold, potent youngster, with a wealth of currant, mocha, anise and sage flavors. The tannins are big, too, but they're ripe and they let the rich flavors push through." --California Cabernet '74/'84/'94 retrospective. 8,000 cases made.
