Sinegal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

WHY WE LOVE IT

Sinegal Estate is rich in heritage dating back to 1879. The Sinegal family purchased the Estate in 2013 and have updated this world-class property to be one with current “field-first” micro farming and fermenting practices.
Sinegal’s Cabernet Sauvignon comes from their estate and surrounding vineyards.
The current vintages drink beautifully and will only continue to improve as they age.

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.
