92-95 POINTS - "Reliant on a good dose of splashy, smoky, toasty oak that casts an espresso shadow on the core flavors of savory dark berry, anise and roasted coffee. Ends with a long, sustained aftertaste that glides and lingers. Drink now through 2032." - Antonio Galloni

93 POINTS - "Dark, plush and inviting, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers tremendous depth and intensity from start to finish. Dark red and bluish stone fruit notes abound in this inky, flamboyant wine. Even with all of its richness, the 2015 has preserved a good bit of freshness for the year." - Wine Spectator

93 POINTS - "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." - Jeb Dunnuck

91 POINTS - "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is deep purple-black in color with an intense cassis and black berries nose with hints of dried herbs, underbrush and Sichuan pepper plus a waft of cloves. Full-bodied, youthful and packed with juicy black fruits and grainy tannins, it has an herbal finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2015 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits the opulence and power of the 2015 vintage while never losing the polish and breed that has become the hallmark of Sinegal Estate. Explosive aromas of ripe plums, violets, blackberries, bakers chocolate and cedar box are followed on the palate by flavors of black currant, blueberries, cocoa nibs and an underlying earth tones. The 2015 is the most forward and ready to drink vintage we have seen at Sinegal Estate however the wine has more than ample tannins and structure to age gracefully for the next 7-10 years.
