+1 hour decant(some fine/chunky sediment). A splendid crimson red color. On the nose: wonderful bouquet with plum, stewed meat, cassis, sweet tobacco, funky earth, leather. Taste: silky, finessed, balanced wine with red berries/plum, coffee grounds, cedar, tobacco, and a nice peppery pencil lead long finish. YUM! Pure class in a glass. — a month ago
Pure. CdP. Made with 100% Grenache, this wine drank well despite its young age (2021). Too tanic on its own, but paired with steak it was dreamy. — 2 months ago
Great porch wine— peachy, lemongrass? — 3 months ago
The 2012 Insignia is in great shape today. Bright acids lend tremendous energy to a mid-weight Insignia that is more about finesse rather than power. Sweet red-fleshed fruit, cedar, tobacco, mint and rose petal are all beautifully delineated. There's not much left to say. The 2012 offers tons of pure pleasure. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)

It is very pure—red raspberry, red cherry, and licorice, amped up with damp soil on the nose. The palate brings more licorice/anise/tarragon vibes, with a little lilac winking on the finish. The acid is vibrant, the tannins are dusky, and the alcohol is respectful. — 23 days ago

v20. Hard to beat Paso Red Blend. Very good! Soft, Smokey, candied nose. Fresh, deep, blackberry and soft tar fruit. Bright, peppery, chocolate and hint of leather finish. Nicely balanced… go to Red Blend. Very good! — 16 days ago
