The Coach Insignia Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of the finest selected lots of Bordeaux varietals from our Calistoga Estate. Nestled at the foot of The Palisades mountain range, these vines grow on an alluvial fan that slopes gently west, following Simmons Creek to the Napa River. The Estate’s well drained soils are remarkably consistent, comprised primarily of cobblestones and loam.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Coach Insignia is fabulous. Rich, exotic and explosive, the 2018 captures all the best qualities of the year. Inky dark red/purplish fruit, licorice, spice, lavender and pencil shavings all run through the 2018. The Coach Insignia is one of the classiest and most classic Cabernets in Calistoga. Readers who like old-school Cabernets will flip over the 2018.
