Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
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 2016 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"

Spectacular cab from Oakville. Beautiful on the nose and complex on the palette. Plenty of rich fruit and structural tannins. This will age nicely but is quite enjoyable now.
