2013 | Robert Sinskey Vineyards | Marcien

Deep, dark-fruit, perfectly ripe tannin and mouth-watering crispness makes for a classically proportioned stunner of a wine. The moment the cork is pulled, beautiful aromatics waft from the bottle. The bouquet and flavor profile is as effusive as it is complex - fruity, floral notes of violet, black cherry, pomegranate, plum and cassis intertwine with the earthy, herbal notes of bayleaf, dark chocolate, licorice, espresso and graphite, all elevated by a frame of French oak.

Producer Information

Robert Sinskey Vineyards is a Napa Valley wine estate located in the Stags Leap District. The estate was founded by Robert Sinskey in 1988 and has been practicing certified organic and biodynamic farming since 1991. The estate is made up of 81 hectares (200 acres) of vineyard land in Stags Leap District and Carneros. Most of Robert Sinskey's wines are made from Carneros-grown fruit – primarily Pinot Noir as well as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Zinfandel. The winery, however, is based in Stags Leap District. The estate received extensive re-planting after the Atlas Fire of 2017. The flagship of the wine portfolio is the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal wine, sourced from the Stags Leap vineyard called SLD. Grapes are almost completely dry-farmed, in order to reduce yields, leading to small clusters of grapes with thick skins. SLD is aged in 40-percent new oak for up to two years prior to bottling. The remaining Robert Sinskey portfolio is a combination of single-vineyard, varietal wines and a library collection of cellar-aged wines. The Commander Zinskey is an innovative release of a classic Napa Valley Zinfandel that is illustrated with a new heroic scene inspired by sci-fi tales.
