WINE DESCRIPTION

Nickel & Nickel winery focuses on 100% varietal wines from Napa Valley, California, sourcing grapes from different high quality growers across the Valley. C.C. Ranch is planted in Rutherford, along the slope of a knoll west of the Silverado Trail. The vineyard grows classic Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon on well-drained, gravelly loam soil and receives a variety of exposures, depending on the block and location. The vines are well balanced and the canopy is opened up to give good light exposure, resulting in a classic Cabernet Sauvignon style. The wine has spent 18 months in French oak barrels, giving it its characteristic smoothness and complexity.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Nickel & Nickel C.C.Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, rich and velvety red wine. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums are complemented by nuances of toasty oak and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is well-structured with a nice balance of tannins and acidity. Notes of blackberry and dark cherry jam mingle with cedar, tobacco, and spice, followed by a long and persistent finish. Enjoy this wine with a grilled steak or roasted lamb.
