Nickel & nickel john c. sullenger cabernet sauvignon 2019 (Nickel & Nickel)

Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Founded by Gil Nickel in 1997, Nickel & Nickel Winery is located in Oakville, in the heart of Napa Valley. The company concentrates its production on monovarietal wines coming from different vineyards in the area, which best express the great diversity of composition of the terroirs typical of Napa. In particular, Nickel & Nickel Winery is famous for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons (it produces at least 15 different ones) from single vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for this wine come from the Sullenger vineyard, named after the farm's founder John C. Sullenger who established it in 1880. The vineyard, planted on clayey soil, extends over 30 hectares, where several clones of Cabernet Sauvignon are grown to guarantee a wine of great balance, where each clone brings essential characteristics to the final wine. Nickel & Nickel John C. Sullenger Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and complex wine with an intense aromatic profile and notes of red and dark fruit such as plum and cassis, blueberry and blackberry, followed żeby earthy hints, sweet spices, and sage. On the palate, it has a full body and a silky texture. It is concentrated and full of flavor, rounded and rich. The finish is long and recalls delicate notes of baking spices. Perfect with brisket and short ribs.
