Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Branding Iron Vineyard (75cl, 14.7%)

A single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Branding Iron Vineyard in Oakville, Napa Valley. Nickel & Nickel makes only single-vineyard wines, with no blending across vineyards, so this bottle is a site-specific expression of Oakville Cabernet. The vineyard sits on gravelly, well-drained soils, and the wine is full-bodied and richly structured, suited to both cellaring and the table. Dark currant, blackberry and cassis lead, with cedar, dried herb and baking spice, firm polished tannins and a long, structured finish.
