Winemaker Notes
The extended growing season of the vintage resulted in a rich, concentrated wine. On the nose, there are aromas of raspberry, black plum, and blueberry, with more subtle oak aromas of cedar and allspice. There are flavors of black cherry, mocha, and black licorice followed by bright savory spices and mineral notes.

A value-priced release from this terrific estate, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon DETAILS checks in as 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% each of Merlot and Petite Sirah, 4% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all aged 16 months in 55% new oak. Lots of ripe black cherry and blueberry fruits, notes of vanilla bean, cedar, and tobacco, medium to full-bodied richness, and notable purity all make for a delicious Napa Valley Cabernet that won't break the bank. Enjoy bottles over the coming 7-8 years.

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 our family being the fifth family, purchasing the property in 2013. The skeleton key on every label of our 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 we acquired the estate.
Since 2013, we have been focused on integrating innovation and technology into our winemaking. Our 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. We are committed to the relentless pursuit of quality, and where tradition meets innovation from the vineyard to the cellar. Our stewardship of this historic property honors the legacy of the founding generations, celebrating the estate’s heritage of more than 139 years.
While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
