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.

Giants winning the World Series may be affecting this post, but this bottle is really singing. Definitely needs more time to mellow, but couldn't resist after Bumgarner closed the door on KC. — 11 years ago

By George Cabernet Tempranillo 2012

I’m not familiar with Tempranillo, so I am unsure what its specific contribution to the wine is. I can only compare the wine to the Brothers and Sisters cabernet I’ve recently fallen in love with.

By George shares the same elegance as its sister wine, with a more savoury core, eschewing some sweetness and vibrancy, for darker more brooding flavours. Dark plum, cherry and dried blueberry fruits set the scene, but it’s the smoky cured meats, volcanic rock, cedar and tobacco on the mid and back palate that bring the party to life. It’s a flavour profile I haven’t encountered before, but I like it a lot. The soft tannins are well integrated, the balance slightly acidic, but not objectionable, lending a lingering spiciness to the finish.

Another Fox Gordon masterpiece. The love affair continues…

First tried in 2011 and thought it tasted like the color purple. Much of the primary stuff has fallen away and it turns out there's an elegant wine beneath the '09 effusive fruit. — 11 years ago

Domaine Richeaume

Cuvée Tradition Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

Black cherries, rosemary, anise, mint, black currant, smoke, fallen leaves, a bit of funk, crushed rocks, touches of sweeter spices. Amazing balance of power, structure, and acidity on the palette. Immense value for the price. — 11 years ago

Realm Cellars

Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

A terrific example of an older vintage of Realm, I think this might be the first year they sourced grapes from the Dr Crane vineyard. Classic Napa cab with aromas of blackberry, cassis, hints of leather, and an undercurrant of vanilla still prevalent from the barrel ageing. Initially the wine exhibited firm tannins on the palate, but after an hour they soften up considerably...and after another 30 min they had really fallen away. The wine stayed in balance and is drinking well, but I suspect this is starting on the downslope. If you have any in your cellar, I'd suggest opening them up within the next couple of years. Terrific wine from Juan and his team at Realm! — 9 years ago
