Nickel & Nickel State Ranch Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
97 Points - limited Best Cab from Nickel & Nickel yet? Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2016 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?"

Bob brought a mag for Thxgvg. Needed time to open up. Stone fruits, light for a Napa cab.

Incredibly delicious.. easy going balance, soft and delicate hints of plum, blackberry, and thyme. It’s a mellow summer breeze that will make that steak go down so much easier.
