Tasting notes
The Classic 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon isn’t far behind the Reserve and offers lots of graphite, crème de cassis, black currants and charcoal characteristics. These flow to a beautifully concentrated, elegant, seamless Cabernet that has ripe, polished tannin and the charming, forward style of the vintage. It’s great today, but has another 15 years of longevity.

Sinegal's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is racy, powerful and voluptuous, but with serious tannin and overall intensity. Smoke earthiness, tobacco and new French oak are some of the signatures. This is an especially dense, voluptuous 2014.
Looking at the barrel samples of the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignons, the estate 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is slightly lighter than its counterpart in 2013. Front-end loaded, as many wines in this vintage are, soft, round, juicy, and by no means wimpish, but rather charming and endearing, it should be drunk its first 10-15 years of life.
A huge, full-throttle wine, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate wraps around the palate with serious density. A host of game, smoke, licorice and crushed rocks form the backdrop as this richly-textured, jammy Cabernet shows off its personality. Even with all of its intensity, the 2014 has retained a gorgeous sense of freshness. Hints of lavender and sage add the closing shades of nuance. The 2014 is big and extroverted, but appears to have a bit better balance and more complete sense of poise than the 2013.
