Tonight I decided to crack open this baby. An excellent cab wine. Nice depth and flavor. With wines I am not good at describing those warm and fuzzy feelings or reveiws. But anyway, this wine was excellent.

The entire Phelps line-up is very very good. The regular cab is also highly rated and it is much less expensive than the Insignia. The merlot is also great.

Yeah, so I knocked off the bottle by myself and yes that was after having some Havana Club 15.

Enjoy.

Drank too much and mis-typed -- it was the 96 Insignia.

Pre-98/pre el nino were great years for CA Cabs. Enjoyed a bottle of 97 Stag's Leap SLV the other night with some friends, a little young but still great. I really like the intense Cab fruit bombs from CA.

Don't know about the reds, but I used to be heavily into their Gewurztraminers and Rieslings.
Would love to go up to St. Helena and visit the source.
