95+ Points Parker Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2015 C. C. Ranch is a beautiful Cabernet from Rutherford 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 95+ Points Robert Parker: "The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon C C Ranch Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of warm blackberries and blueberry compote with hints of cedar chest, mocha and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, it is velvety and elegant with lovely perfume and great persistence." The Nickel & Nickel 2015 Copper Streak Cabernet Sauvignon offers one of the richest textures of the vintage. Aromas of blackberry and cedar lend way to dark fruit flavors of berry and cassis which blend nicely with notes of chocolate, tobacco and herbs. The middle palate is dense with rich flavors, depth and complexity. This wine is beautifully focused now, yet will reward those with the patience to allow a few years in the cellar.

Lovely Cab. Lovely color, nose, and palate. Very nice now, will age gracefully IMO.

Drinking very well right now. Deep dark garnet. Black fruit, oak, vanilla, cherry on the nose. Black cherry, blackberry, oak and minerality. Well integrated tannins. Finish a medium length but great fruit and well structured. Again one of the better N&N.

Really like this one. Not too juicy, blackberry, blueberry. Vanilla, oak, Rutherford dust. Nice firm tannins with a lasting finish. One of the better N&N to me.

Bland det mest potenta vin jag druckit. Det har bara luftats en timme och vi kommer dricka lugnt. Mycket mörka bär, mycket läder och jord, någon slags rotfrukt. Mycket rustikt, mycket bastant. Lägger sig länge på tandköttet! En sann glädje när en chansning går in.

Beautiful dark berry and plums. Hints of dried herbs, leather and tobacco. Smooth as silk. Absolutely outstanding. One of my favorite Napa wineries! Revisited in May 2020. Still terrific! Now also picking up some graphite and baking spices.
