Called barbaresco. Actually pre-phylloxera cab franc, 160+ yr old wines. Beautiful ruby color, expressive fruit, some spice and weight. Loved it — 4 months ago

Not having had a huge experience with Napa Cabernet Dominus would be close to my favourite.

@Bob McDonald Yes, a very nice wine. The group consensus had the Insignia 1997 as top showing, but for me the Insignia 1995 edged my favor.

Yes, 1997 - a great vintage in Napa. I remember a stunning 1997 Opus One years ago before I was on Delectable.
