Nickel & Nickel Quarry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2010 Quarry Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. previous vintage 94 Points Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon Quarry Vineyard reveals gorgeous depth in an understated, cool style. The Quarry is all about delineation and subtlety, both of which it has in spades. Mint, violet and cassis are some of the nuances that come to life in the glass as this elegant, finessed wine shows off its class and pedigree. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2028."   The Quarry Vineyard climbs the slopes above the Silverado Trail on the east side of Rutherford. The name comes from the old quarry that was the source of a white rock used in the ghost winery that still stands beside the vineyard. We are very pleased with our first vintage of Quarry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Multiple layers of ultra-ripe fruit blend nicely with an array of earth, herb, tobacco and char. This wine has an incredible texture, which is soft, yet thick, from front to finish. The French oak adds sweetness and cigar-like qualities, while the fruit persists on velvet tannins into a long, supple finish.
