Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2015 Insignia is a fleshy, flamboyant vintage for this wine and reminds me of the 1997. Tons of dark fruits, tobacco, cedar, and dried flower notes all give way to a full-bodied, seamless 2015 that has remarkable purity and elegance, yet still shows the vintage’s sexy style. Drink it any time over the coming two to three decades.
Wine Enthusiast
This vintage of the perennial knockout is exceptional—a concentrated blend of 90 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Petit Verdot, 2 Cabernet Franc and 1 Malbec. Pencil shavings, red currant and red plum are complemented by hints of crushed rock and cocoa, with persistent acidity maintaining balance. Like so many of its forebears, this is a wine well worth cellaring; enjoy 2025–2035.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Insignia Proprietary Red Wine is blended of 90 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Petit Verdot, 2 Cabernet Franc and 1 Malbec aged for 24 months in 100 new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with stunning black and red plums, cassis and mulberries scents with loads of redcurrant sparks and compelling wafts of lilacs, pencil shavings, black olives and tilled soil plus a hint of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate explodes with red and black currant fireworks plus some exciting mineral nuances coming through, framed by firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and beautifully layered. 12,400 cases produced.
