2018 | Nickel & Nickel Winery | Suscol Ranch Merlot

Juicy and succulent with enticing aromas of plum, sage and spice, this vintage is expansive and beautifully balanced. Soft, velvet tannins support ripe red fruit and deep plum flavors, with notes of tobacco and vanilla adding nuance and depth to a finish that is at once lush and lifted.

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.
