WINE DESCRIPTION
Suscol Ranch, spanning nine acres, sits in the cool environs of Jamieson Canyon, south of Napa city. This region experiences early-season fog and persistent winds, offering an ideal climate for grape cultivation. The vines occupy north-facing slopes, nestled in deep, loamy soil, and are trained in the cordon style to maximize sun exposure. These cool conditions encourage gradual ripening, resulting in a well-balanced blend of flavors and mature tannins.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Nickel & Nickel Suscol Ranch Merlot is an enchanting wine boasting dark plum, herb, and cedar notes.It seamlessly melds earthy elements with spicy French oak, combining the characteristics of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine's allure lies in its supple, velvety tannins that expand from the first sip to a rich, lingering finish, setting it apart year after year.
