Product Info
The 2023 Nickel & Nickel John C. Sullenger Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a magnificent expression of Oakville terroir, crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from the winery's prestigious estate vineyard in the heart of California's Napa Valley. This full-bodied wine captivates the senses with an elegant bouquet of dark cassis, ripe black cherry, and delicate violet notes that unfold gracefully on the nose. Meticulously aged in French oak, this Cabernet develops remarkable complexity and refinement. The palate reveals layers of rich fruit character balanced by beautifully polished tannins that speak to the wine's careful craftsmanship and quality fruit selection. The wine's structure and depth suggest excellent aging potential, making it an ideal choice for the serious collector or those seeking a wine worthy of special occasions. A testament to Nickel & Nickel's commitment to single-vineyard, varietal-focused winemaking, this Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the distinctive character and elegance that the John C. Sullenger Vineyard is known for producing.
