Insignia is as consistent as they come. I have some good Phelps stories when we all get together. I had a friend with a key to the barrel room.

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Deep reddish/purple color which has me on guard relative to Pinot. Worried that darker than lighter raspberry red has had Mega Red or other manipulation but this Pinot just has concentrated character. Varietal rose petal and cherry notes in aromas. You can see the broad influence from the 3 appellations that comprise the wine. Weighty on the palate without being too over bearing for the varietal. Great accompaniment to the saffron broth salmon this evening. — 11 years ago

Ochetti Nebbiolo D' Alba 2014

Such a beautifully expressive & high toned Langhe, if only other Langhe's could give back so much at a young age. — 10 years ago
