Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon C.C. Ranch 2017
The Winery
Nickel & Nickel
In 1997, Gil Nickel opened Nickel & Nickel Winery on the 42-acre John C. Sullenger property in Oakville, California. They opened to the public in 2003 showcasing their Cabernet Sauvignon based portfolio as well as some of their Chardonnay, Merlot, and Syrah bottles. Nickel & Nickel sources its fruit from different vineyards across Napa Valley and showcases them in their single-vineyard wines. From Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Stags Leap District, and beyond, the idea was to let each wine display its individual terroir. Vintage after vintage the wines continue to receive high praise from press and consumers alike, and represent high quality production in the Napa Valley.
Summary
The Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon C.C. Ranch 2017 is a single-vineyard Napa Cabernet hailing from the well-drained gravelly loam of Rutherford. Known for its commitment to varietal purity, this wine showcases its terroir with a blend of deep fruit and elegant structure. Aromas of cassis, red cherry, and hints of cedar and tobacco lead to a palate that balances medium to full-bodied intensity with freshness. The flavor profile includes notes of chocolate, plums, and subtle earthy undertones, all supported by a fine tannic structure. With a seamless mouthfeel and impressive length, this wine offers a classic representation of Rutherford Cabernet that can be enjoyed now or aged further.
