Product Description
JS96 "Deeply brooding, refined aromas of blackcurrants, bitter chocolate, blood plums, dark cherries, cedar and coffee beans. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and bright acidity that lead into a structured yet silky-smooth and savory finish. 92% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 2% malbec and 2% cabernet franc. Great to drink young, or will reward after time in bottle. Drink or hold."
DR95 “The 2022 Insignia is a beautifully structured and expressive wine. It opens with savoury wild herb notes-spearmint,bay laurel, and high-toned cinnamon spice-lifted by elegant red florals. A core of crunchy red fruit delivers rope density balaced by energy and tension. Cocoa powder tannins provide grip without heaviness, and the finish is exceptional in length, refined and savoury. This is a poised and polished wine that confidently delivers the goods.”
