Crazy good & a killer vintage from the master! Black cherry, raspberry, cola, smoked meats, soy, licorice, black pepper, olive & violets. Still a baby with a legendary future. — 9 years ago

There's some funk here, loads of minerals, saline and nutty, lemon pith and unripe peach. Acid is killer. Really special, loving it. — 10 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

The nose leads you down a path to oak and very ripe fruit notes, however the palate is pure, precise like a howitzer shell of tannin and structure. Should be killer in 10+ years as the palate is fresh, with very good balance and acidity. Complexity with age should increase the score and my interest but right now it needs time. — 10 years ago

Got to take advantage of another Wednesday Wine Committee and boy was it worth it. Wow! Killer wines brought by Glenn for his 60th! As always, wines tasted blind. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert wine.

As
@Bill Bender says, "lunch bags for the win!" Absolutely gorgeous. Well crafted and refined. Almost elegant at this stage. Hardly any bricking. Great color. Hard to imagine this wine being any better than it is now. Total harmonious package of dark fruit, medium bodied palate, and a great nose that keeps you guessing between Napa and Bordeaux.

Killer red from Italy crafted by a bad-ass winemaker. Encompassing tannins and acidity give nice balance to the fruit and herbs making this the perfect casual food wine. Affordable to boot!! — 11 years ago
