2005 | Nickel & Nickel | John C. Sullenger Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Cherry and black cherry fruits are layered with sweet herb, spice and cedar from the oak.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: This is a stunningly powerful 100% Cabernet, rich in fruit and well-oaked, that shows the authority of Oakville in a great vintage. Flooded with cassis, black cherries, dark chocolate and cedar, it’s nonetheless too young in brisk tannins to fully express itself. A joy to drink, but needs time. Best after 2009 and for many years after.

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.
