“A heady, statuesque wine, the 2019 captures all the pedigree of the vintage.†– Antonio Galloni
Sinegal Estate was founded in 2013 with the first release of wines under the Sinegal label from this 30 acre Inglewood estate in St Helena. It is owned and operated by David and James Sinegal (Father and son team) - James was the co-founder of Costco and one-time CEO; David worked at Costco for 21 years. Indeed, they are no strangers to quality and value, and during their ownership of of this property, they have turned out excellence in very short order.
"My tasting at Sinegal was one of the highlights of the month I spent in Napa Valley. Winemaker Ryan Knoth simply crushed the vintage. In particular, the wines have all the opulence they showed a few years ago, when David Sinegal bought the property, but with an extra kick of energy that makes them so compelling. David Sinegal and winemaker Ryan Knoth continue to take these wines to the next level. The 2018s and 2019s are brilliant across the board." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is every bit as magnificent as it was last year. A heady, statuesque wine, the 2019 captures all the pedigree of the vintage. Inky red cherry fruit, mocha, licorice and spice race across the palate. The 2019 is bright, deep and powerful, with exceptional balance and tons of class. It's a stunning wine, to say the least. The move towards a slightly less pushed style, with less overt oak signatures, has paid off big time. This is a fabulous showing.-- Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media
Starting with the base cuvée, this isn't far off the Reserve and offers a sensational bouquet of ripe red and black currant fruits as well as chocolate, smoked tobacco, spice box, dried flowers, and classy oak. Young, up-front, full-bodied, and perfectly balanced, it has incredible purity of fruit, the sweet, velvety tannins that are common in the vintage, no hard edges, and a great finish. This is one heck of a sexy, seamless 2019 that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 20-25 years. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, and 3% Merlot, aged 20 months in 80% new French oak. - Jeb Dunnuck
