Tasting Notes
Deep and complex with blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate, and espresso. Full-bodied with supple tannins and extraordinary concentration.
Our Review
Insignia was America's first proprietary Bordeaux-style blend, and it remains one of its finest. The 2020 is a monumental wine — dense, layered, and built for the long haul.
