WineScout7: ... Eine Wein von Weltklasse. Der 2019er Insignia betört mit filigranen Aromen von Blumen, dunklen Früchten, Anis und Zigarrenkistennoten . Ein Wein von Tiefe, Eleganz und Finesse, am Gaumen frisch und fokussiert mit cremiger Textur und Schichten von Brombeere, Mokka und Schwarzkirsche. Die nahtlose Tanninstruktur und Balance gipfeln in einem erhebenden, langen Abgang. Ende 97+ Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate , The 2019 Insignia is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard sources this year include: 30% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District),18% Yountville (Oak Knoll District), 13% Banca Dorada (Rutherford), 18% Suscol (South Napa Valley), 14% Home Ranch (St. Helena), 12% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District), 7% Barboza (Stags Leap District). It was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes storming out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, stewed black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of cedar chest, graphite, menthol and wet slate with a fragrant waft of clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate already demonstrates remarkable balance at this youthful stage, featuring a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the tightly wound, crunchy black fruits, finishing long and spicy.
