The 2018 Insignia opens with beautifully perfumed floral, dark fruit, anise, and cigar box aromatics.

A wine of depth, elegance, and finesse, the palate is fresh and focused with a creamy texture and layers of blackberry, mocha, and black cherry.

The seamless tannin structure and balance culminate in an uplifting, lengthy finish.

99 Points – James Suckling
Blackberry and black chocolate with mint, conifer, and clove. Sweet tobacco, violets, and flowers, too. Some graphite. Cool and complex. Full-bodied with ultra-fine, dusty tannins and a wonderful, extremely long finish. Savory and refined. A classic-styled 2018. This needs time but is so approachable and gorgeous. One of the best Insignias ever. Alive and changing all the time. Leave this for five or six years, but so wonderful now. (March 2021)
