Detailed Description
Minerally, dense and with mountain tannins, though also with vibrant blackberry flavors plus tobacco and liquorice. Good acidity, complexity and balance.
Reviews:
- James Suckling: Bright full ruby. Wild, complex aromas of cassis, crushed rock, minerals, leather and fresh blood. Densely packed and rocky, offering a tactile, penetrating character to its flavors of dark raspberry, spices, black tea and leather. Not at all a sweet style; in fact, this went into a shell in the glass. The medicinal Howell Mountain tannins suggest that this stony wine will need extended cellaring.
Producer Information
Nickel & Nickel Winery is a Californian wine producer, established in 1997 by Gil Nickel of Far Niente. Situated on the John C. Sullenger property in Oakville, of Napa Valley, the winery focuses exclusively on varietal wines from single-vineyard designations. Each vintage, Nickel & Nickel make up to fifteen different Cabernet Sauvignons sourced from different vineyards in Oakville, Napa Valley, Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Stags Leap District, St Helena, and Yountville. The intent is to let each site express its terroir, and to show the diversity of Napa Valley in the glass. While the estate John C. Sullenger Vineyard and Tench Vineyard are favorites, each vineyard produces a unique bottle of wine that are textbook examples of Napa Valley Cabernet.
