Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1998

9.2

Deep garnet red with lots of bricking on the edges. Light cassis and dark cherries on the nose with some tertiary notes like earthiness and damp leaves. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Lots of complexity with light cassis and dark cherries, a little bit of tomato leaves and earthiness. Very well rounded and integrated with a long finish. This will only keep losing fruit and get earthier with time. Drink now. — 10 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Ripe cassis, sweet roasted paprika, open, generous and utterly satisfying. A clear representative of NW-cabernet, but with a definite classical Old-World edge. Loved it. 95/100 — 12 years ago

Still vibrant and energetic with dark fruit and grip. Has at least 10+ years before it starts losing that intensity — 10 years ago
