97/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2006 Insignia is tremendous. It's an early wine made entirely from estate fruit (the first was 2004). At 20 years of age, the 2006 retains tremendous richness in its dark-toned fruit, with potent tannins to match. The blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, almost all from sites in southern Napa Valley, including Suscol, Banca Dorada, Barboza, Las Rocas, Home Ranch and Yountville. Delayed budbreak got things off to a late start. July saw a long and intense heat wave that lasted ten days, which no doubt resulted in the selection of sites here. Aging was 24 months in new French oak.
