Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2018 Insignia is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. The vineyard sources this year include: 30% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District),18% Yountville (Oak Knoll District), 13% Banca Dorada (Rutherford), 18% Suscol (South Napa Valley), 14% Home Ranch (St. Helena), 12% Las Rocas (Stags Leap District), 7% Barboza (Stags Leap District). It was aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes storming out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, stewed black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of cedar chest, graphite, menthol and wet slate with a fragrant waft of clove oil. The medium to full-bodied palate already demonstrates remarkable balance at this youthful stage, featuring a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the tightly wound, crunchy black fruits, finishing long and spicy. 17,000 cases were made. Drink Date 2024-2044. Rating 97+/100. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown-

Vinous:

The 2018 Insignia is racy and exuberant to the core. Soft and plush, with fabulous balance, the 2018 is such a showy wine today. Blackberry jam, leather, mocha, cloves and menthol build effortlessly. The 2018 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring, but it also clearly has the potential to age. It is a total charmer today. Drink Date 2025-2040. Rating 96/100. – Antonio Galloni -

James Suckling:

Blackberry and black chocolate with mint, conifer and clove. Sweet tobacco, violets and flowers, too. Some graphite. Cool and complex. Full-bodied with ultra fine, dusty tannins and a wonderful, extremely long finish. Savory and refined. A classic-styled 2018. This needs time, but is so approachable and gorgeous. One of the best Insignias ever. Alive and changing all the time. 40% Stags Leap AVA. 87% cabernet sauvignon, 8% petit verdot, 3% malbec and 2% cabernet franc. Leave this for five or six years, but so wonderful now. Rating 99/100. – JamesSuckling.com –

falstaff.com:

Dunkles Rubinrot mit violette Reflexe. Feines, etwas verhaltenes Waldbeerkonfit, zarte Himbeer- und Kirscharomen, frische Orangenzesten, attraktives Bukett, ein Hauch von Cassis im Hintergrund. Komplex, vollmundig, hochelegant, süße Kirschfrucht, integrierte Tannine, feiner Nougat und große Länge, mineralisch im Abgang, gewisses Alterungspotenzial für Jahrzehnte. Bewertung 99/100. – falstaff.com -
