2014 Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Quicksilver Vineyard
Tasting Note:May 04, 2017
Second Cabernet Sauvignon from Nickel & Nickel today. Deep purplish ruby red. A touch more approachable than the State Ranch. A touch of the classic 'Rutherford Dust' on the attack of the nose with mixed dark spices and black fruits bringing up the rear. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Definitely has some more baking spices than the State Ranch and was a tad more integrated. Rich mouthfeel with a touch of anise and black currants. Long finish.
One of the fifteen single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings made by Nickel & Nickel. This specific bottling is made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 16 months in 55% new French oak barrels.
