  There are $15 Cabs that are better to drink now. This is so strong and fruity, so oaky, so tannic, it just overwhelms the palate in its extreme youth. Just massive in blackberries, black currants, coffee, cocoa, dried herbs and 100% new, smoky-sweet French. Ridiculous to open it anytime soon. Desperately needs time in the bottle, and the point score reflects potential. Try 2012-2018."

  Plush layers of fresh blackberry, dark cherry jam, coffee, bitter chocolate and boysenberry, ripe tannins and a silky, ripe, vanilla tinged, fruit forward finish are found in this vintage of Phelps Insignia."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2006 Insignia possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as copious amounts of cassis, but has not yet developed secondary nuances. It remains a big, full-throttle, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine with 14.5% natural alcohol, impressive purity, sweet tannin, decent acidity and a monolithic personality. Everything needed for a graceful evolution is present, and the 2006 should keep for another two decades."

  On the nose this has notes of currants, dark fruits, cigar box, and dried flowers. The palate is rich and powerful, with a chewy texture and slightly dry tannins. Drink this. 14+23+22+32. Find the wine."
