2022 Nickel & Nickel Vaca Vista Cabernet Sauvignon, Oak Knoll, Napa Valley
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the gravely soils on the valley floor within Oak Knoll and spends 20 months in 55% new French Oak. This wine has a deep ruby core and a garnet rim with somewhat restrained aromatics at this stage of its evolution. There are crushed blueberries and black plums within the core framed with wild herbs, lightly crushed minerals and loamy earth. The wine has a well-balanced streak of acidity and plenty of elegance which will evolve further over time.
