Sinegal’s 2022 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 92:
The classic appellation 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley checks in as 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and the balance Malbec and Petit Verdot. It's a terrific base cuvée and offers everything you'd want at this price point with its deep ruby/purple hue and forward, sumptuous aromas and flavors of cassis and jammy currants, chocolaty oak, and violets. It's a plump, front-end-loaded, velvety textured, beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with tons to love. As with most 2022s, it's ready to go and there's no need to delay gratification (although it will keep for a decade).
