From the spicy dried sage, raspberry and cedar perfume to the voluminous layers of mixed red fruit flavors underscored by hints of cocoa and forest floor, this Rutherford Cabernet stands out for its aromatics and texture. Elegant, with lifted acidity and integrated tannins, the flavors flow seamlessly across the palate into a finish that is long and distinguished.

The 2018 growing season kicked off in late February and eased into a mild spring that gave us extended flowering and uniform clusters throughout the vineyard. Summer continued with an even trend, with consistent temperatures allowing fruit to have beautiful, extended hang time. With no heat spikes we were able to wait patiently for every cluster to achieve perfect phenolic maturity. A no rush approach to harvest allowed fruit to develop beautifully on the vine and the Cabernet came into the winery with mature tannins, great acidity and perfect ripeness. This vintage was “near picture-perfect,” and the resulting wines are generous yet structured and expand on the palate.

Tenacity, innovation and a single-minded commitment to “vineyard and varietal” have established Nickel & Nickel as the leader in single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Every Cabernet offers the purest expression of its vineyard. No two vineyards are alike. And, as the release of the new 2018 Nickel & Nickel Cabernets can attest, neither are any two vintages. Taste the pure, powerful expressions of unparalleled Napa Valley vineyards. The 2018 Nickel & Nickel Single-Vineyard Cabernets are crafted with excellence and made to be savored.

The 2018 Nickel & Nickel Quarry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits excellent elevation on the palate.

TASTING NOTES: This wine brings red fruit, sandalwood, and savory spices onto the palate. Pair it with a thick, well-seasoned, first-cut of a prime rib.

Delivers a lovely beam of cassis and cherry purée flavors laced with subtle juniper, sassafras and earth notes. Nicely focused, cedar-tinged finish has a streamlined feel. Drink now through 2027.
