2020 | Nickel & Nickel Winery | C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

A beautiful perfume of red plum and ripe raspberry lifted by dried sage and a whisper of spicy pepper invite you in for sip after sip. Abundant red fruit flavors – Bing cherry, raspberry, red plum – flow through the palate, with underpinnings of baking spice and toasted oak adding nuance and dimension. Tannins are supple and integrated, seamlessly carrying the flavors from entry to the finish.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Very fine tannins with bright acidity yet soft at the same time. Redcurrants. Medium body. Polished and lightly savory. So pretty for a 2020. Drink or hold.

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. Nickel & Nickel also produces a collection of Chardonnays and Merlots, sourced from different ranches throughout the Carneros, Oakville, and the Russian River Valley in Sonoma. All the wines produced by Nickel & Nickel receive high accolades from the press, and continue to be a benchmark for quality Napa Valley production. The winery was opened to the public in 2003, with cutting-edge facilities located within an 1880's farmstead. Nickel & Nickel are apart of the Far Niente family of wineries and vineyards.
