Sinegal Estate was founded by David Sinegal, who in 2013 purchased the historic Inglewood estate in St. Helena. Sinegal, a former retail executive at Costco, Starbucks and other companies, updated the 30- acre, 19th century estate and brought in respected Napa winemaker Tony Biagi. Veteran viticulturalist Jim Barbour was hired as vineyard manager. The first commercial releases were 2013 Cabernet Sauvignons. The Inglewood estate, not to be confused with Inglenook Estate in Rutherford, was planted with vineyards in 1881. Sinegal and his team refurbished the vineyards, which are at various elevations from the valley floor up to the lower levels of the Mayacamas Mountains. Like a growing number of other new, artisanal Napa wineries producing just a few luxury wines, Sinegal Estate’s wines are available generally by mailing list only. The estate’s Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet Francs have impressed reviewers in their debut vintages. Robert M. Parker rated them in the mid to high-90s and noted that “These are all super-impressive wines, so consumers should get on the Sinegal bandwagon before it becomes better known.”

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is wonderfully lush, powerful and sensual in the glass. Succulent dark cherry, mocha, plum, new leather and licorice infuse this voluptuous, racy Cabernet Sauvignon. The flavors are dark and intense, and yet there is a good deal of freshness and aromatic nuance that play off some of the riper elements. Best of all, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring.

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. (12/2017)
