2006 | Nickel & Nickel | Suscol Ranch Merlot

A deep heart of black and red cherries, red currants, mocha, bacon, anise and sandalwood.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: Nickel & Nickel continues its style of bone-dry, harshly tannic red wines that are not charming on release, but are so elegant, they give you hope. This ’06 Merlot has a deep heart of black and red cherries, red currants, mocha, bacon, anise and sandalwood, and could well develop bottle complexity after 2011 or so.

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.
