Nickel & Nickel State Ranch Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
97 Points - limited Best Cab from Nickel & Nickel yet? Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2013 State Ranch Vineyard Yountville is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 97 Points James Suckling: "Impressive aromas of blueberry and lavender with hints of rosemary. Full to medium body, solid core of fruit and a gorgeous finish. Compacted and refined. Better in 2019 but already fantastic. Best wine ever from here?"

First of the two single vineyard bottlings at Classic Wines of Great Falls. Deep purplish ruby red. Layered nose with slate, dark raspberries, and dark cocoa. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Stoney backbone with balanced acidity. Dark palate with spices, as well as baking spices and dark red berries. Lingering finish. This is a baby that needs some time to develop. Drink till 2029. (91+)

More punchy up front than most other N&N. Bit less structured as well. Give it some time to decant. Big cherry. Not one of my favorite N&N.

Big Napa red. Needs to decant for at least an hour. Black cherry and smooth aftertaste. Allspice flavors.

Was honestly disappointed. Did not seem balanced nor have a good finish. Did not stand up to food
