Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 14, 2015 - Sinegal Estate - The Real Deal (Sinegal Estate Winery): This is a WOW wine. One sip and you know. Purple in color. The nose has cassis, spice, floral notes, dark cherries, dark chocolate and so much going on. The nose soars without being big. On the palate, there is a depth here but this is drinking so well right now. This reminded me of some of Russell Bevan's best Cab's in how well and soft it drinks young but still shows complexity. Layers of cassis and dark cherries with earth and spice. Great balance. Again, its light on its feet and not cumbersome. A long finish. Give it a year or two (or 10) in bottle and this will flirt with perfection I think.
This is the current offering (and only offering so far). I made sure to put my order in before I posted my tasting note. It sells for $195 and many will complain about a first time wine starting off at that price. Sadly, my guess is this wine will be out of my price range in a few years, so I bought it now.

You are one of my key Napa Cab tasters and I put a lot of stock in your notes. Having tasted (and LOVED) many of Bevan's Cabs since 2008 I am now really looking forward to trying this Sinegal Reserve. Thanks for allaying my fears. Keep posting!
