Sinegal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, 2% Merlot
Elaboration: Fermented in custom stainless steel tanks with automatic pump overs to control temperature and extraction. Aged 20 months in 80% new French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes: The aromatics are vibrant and energetic with ample dark cherry, mocha, and sweet tobacco. The palate is elegant and refined while still maintaining remarkable depth that never lets up. Silky tannins lead to a beautiful backdrop of bright acidity and red fruit followed by a long lingering finish.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Sinegal Estate has a rich heritage dating back to 1879, with the first vines planted in 1881. It is a family-owned Saint Helena based historic 30-acre property. The property has changed owners a number of times over the decades, passing through separate families. Its current owner, David Sinegal, purchased the property in 2013. Since then, the Sinegal’s have focused on updating the property with current farming practices, by integrating innovation and technology into their winemaking.
