DESCRIPTION
This is a classic Napa Cabernet with absolute elegance in the glass from start to finish. Vaca Vista Vineyard is located on the valley floor in the Oak Knoll District, set against a scenic backdrop of the Vaca Mountains to the east. The 2021 vintage is brimming with expressive aromas of red currant, black cherry and tobacco leaf. On the palate, this is a classic Napa Cabernet with an herbal entry of sage and savory spices before migrating to a voluminous mix of red and dark fruit flavors. Soft and silky throughout the palate, this wine’s polished tannins and broad mouthfeel make this absolute elegance in a glass from start to finish.Producer InformationNickel & Nickel Winery is a Californian wine producer, established in 1997 by Gil Nickel of Far Niente. Situated on the John C. Sullenger property in Oakville, of Napa Valley, the winery focuses exclusively on varietal wines from single-vineyard designations. Each vintage, Nickel & Nickel make up to fifteen different Cabernet Sauvignons sourced from different vineyards in Oakville, Napa Valley, Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Stags Leap District, St Helena, and Yountville. The intent is to let each site express its terroir, and to show the diversity of Napa Valley in the glass. While the estate John C. Sullenger Vineyard and Tench Vineyard are favorites, each vineyard produces a unique bottle of wine that are textbook examples of Napa Valley Cabernet. Nickel & Nickel also produces a collection of Chardonnays and Merlots, sourced from different ranches throughout the Carneros, Oakville, and the Russian River Valley in Sonoma. All the wines produced by Nickel & Nickel receive high accolades from the press, and continue to be a benchmark for quality Napa Valley production. The winery was opened to the public in 2003, with cutting-edge facilities located within an 1880's farmstead. Nickel & Nickel are apart of the Far Niente family of wineries and vineyards.
