Sinegal’s 2021 Cabernet is a wonderful expression of a superb Napa Valley vintage, exhibiting elegance, power, and purity. The nose has enticing aromas of baked blueberry crumble, ripe blackberries, with notes of sweet leather and baking spice. The wine is inky dark and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and hints of dried thyme. The wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate with supple tannins, rich blue fruits, and has lift and length from the bright acidity. Upon opening the wine delivers impressive aromas, flavors, and texture, but is worthy of ageing for over a decade.

Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 94:
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes mostly from estate fruit and checks in as 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% each of Malbec and Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc. There are around 10,000 cases, so you should be able to find bottles, and I suspect it's going to be a great value. Giving up lots of jammy blackberries, tobacco, sweet oak, and subtle cassis, it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, delicious style, and the balance and structure to evolve for 10-15 years.
