Nickel & Nickel Stelling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2009 Stelling Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Limited.96 Points Wine Enthusiast: "Unbelievably rich and delicious, this is a joy to drink.  It continues the winery's long record with this vineyard, reaching toward its apex with this 2009. Made from 100% Cabernet and aged in nearly two-thirds new French oak, it's elaborate, layered and complex, offering juicy notes of blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate, with sweet toast and vanilla flavors that continue onto the spicy finish. If yoiu can keep your hands off it, this will develop over the next 10-15 years."Located next to Harlan Estate, the 100-acre Martin Stelling Vineyard is located at the base of the western hills in Oakville, and is the primary vineyard for Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon. Nickel & Nickel is fortunate to farm two acres of this vineyard. The soils are composed of deep volcanic loam with underlying clay and gravel.
