Wine Spectator
Reliant on a good dose of splashy, smoky, toasty oak that casts an espresso shadow on the core flavors of savory dark berry, anise and roasted coffee. Ends with a long, sustained aftertaste that glides and lingers. Drink now through 2032.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% each of Malbec and Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec) is a classic effort that has plenty of black fruits, charcoal, black licorice, and smoked earth aromas and flavors. This black, earthy, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon will last for 15+ years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is deep purple-black in color with an intense cassis and black berries nose with hints of dried herbs, underbrush and Sichuan pepper plus a waft of cloves. Full-bodied, youthful and packed with juicy black fruits and grainy tannins, it has an herbal finish.

Sinegal Estate is a family-owned Saint Helena based historic 30-acre property, originally known as the Inglewood Estate. Alton Williams acquired it in 1879 and planted the first vines here in 1881. Over the generations, the estate has passed through four separate families with the family being the fifth family, purchasing the property in 2013. The skeleton key on every label of Sinegal wines represents the importance of legacy and preserving the heritage of these families, as it is representative of the original key that was passed down to us when they acquired the estate.
Since 2013, Sinegal has been focused on integrating innovation and technology into their winemaking. The state-of-the-art winery ensures total precession - complete with a cutting-edge digital optical sorting machine, custom-built automated fermentation tanks, and a 6,800 square foot cave with temperature-controlled portals.
Wine is an immersive experience, it captures the story of the land told through the voice of the wine itself. Sinegal is committed to the relentless pursuit of quality, and where tradition meets innovation from the vineyard to the cellar. The stewardship of this historic property honors the legacy of the founding generations, celebrating the estate’s heritage of more than 139 years
One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
