2022 Nickel & Nickel 'State Ranch' Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville

Winemaker notes: Bold and powerful, the State Ranch Cabernet opens with aromas of wild berries, violets, and crushed stone. The palate features abundant blackberry, blueberry, and cranberry flavors, complemented by cardamom, clove, and rich, velvety tannins. With natural acidity and a silky balance, this wine from rocky, well-drained soil will evolve beautifully over the next decade.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "A lush, plush, full-bodied wine that is saturated in dark fruit and subtle oak spices. Such a broad, velvety texture, with generous aromas of red and black fruit and a palate full of raspberries, black cherries and dark plums. Ample cocoa, spearmint and creme de cassis flavors on melted, fine-grained tannins for a soft mouthfeel."


Wine Enthusiast - "Full-bodied yet silken, this ample Cabernet oozes with rich chocolate, cassis, a mix of fruit liqueurs, coffee and spices. Generous and enveloping, allow air upon opening and enjoy with rich and savory foods."
