Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, February 24, 2008 - This was a wonderful wine. Dark, no sign of age visually. The nose was exeptionally leathery, tar, tobacco...wonderful. In the mouth, very well-balanced with substantial sweet fruit with notes of tobacco and cedar. The smooth tannins were evident. Classic CA CS in traditional Insignia style. Not all all heavy or over-extracted. Terrific wine showing well now, but not remotely on the down side. Glad we have a few left.
