Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2012 Branding Iron Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The elegantly balanced 2012 Branding Iron Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas of blackberry and raspberry fruits mixed with toasty cedar from the oak. These lush, ripe flavors carry through on the palate with hints of green olive and dried herb. The juiciness from the fruit continues through to a lingering finish on soft, coating tannins. This is a wine that can be easily be enjoyed upon release, but will also age beautifully with time in the bottle"

Needed another hour to open I think. Medium bodied, dark cherry notes, earthy notes. 2nd favorite of the 3 at our NICKEL tasting.

Medium plus body. Big black fruit and chocolate. Very polished- almost too much so. I can't say anything bad, it just wasn't that exciting.
