Winemaker Notes
Deep crimson in hue, the 2022 Insignia boasts aromas of dark berry compote and allspice, juxtaposed by a distinct brightness. Rich cocoa and freshly roasted espresso notes create depth, while herbes de Provence and cured tobacco leaf add terroir-driven complexity. The palate displays cardamom and nutmeg, complementing its fruit-forward character. Firm yet refined tannins support a contemplative finish with warm and savory layers that linger. The wine demonstrates exceptional balance, offering both immediate enjoyment and aging potential.
Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec

The 2022 Insignia is packed with succulent red cherry fruit, rose petal, sweet spice and new leather. The 2022 is shaping up to a be a showy Insignia, but it is not overdone.

The 2022 Insignia is a similar blend to the 2021 and checks in as 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% each of Malbec and Cabernet that’s still resting in new barrels. It has a terrific dense purple/plum color as well as a perfumed, lifted nose of red and blue fruits, candied flowers, chocolate, and nicely integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, it’s balanced, shows the plush, riper style of the vintage, has good tannins, and outstanding length.
