Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the Branding Iron Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The elegantly balanced Nickel & Nickel 2015 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"

Very nice, big ripe black fruit. Nice tannins to even it out. Some earthiness to give a nice structure.

Drinking the 2015 in 2019. Thick long lasting legs. Deep rich purple color. Fruit forward bouquet, rich with raspberry, blackberry and blueberry. Earthy and slightly tannic flavor, with rich stone fruit notes. Very nice wine.
