On another level. Nickle and Nickle single vineyard Cabs are just special. So polished and true to the Stags Leap AVA. Prime floor fruit.

On the nose; ripe, perfumed fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, plum, black raspberries, herb, savory meat, tarry notes and decayed dark florals. Medium dusty tannins, black spiced currants, herbs, black cherries, blackberries, poached strawberries, pomegranate, black raspberries, mid intensity volcanic minerals, dry stones, leather, underbrush, liquid violets, black cherry cola, dark dry & fresh florals. Medium body finish with fresh, ripe fruits with tannins that soften with nice structure, length and acidity. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Photos of the "Copper Streak Vineyard.", the gravelly loam from the Perkins soil series and the gate that leads to their estate building. Cooper Streak is a part of the "Stag's Leap District."

Wow, this is a gem of N&N offerings. Loads of ripe cassis, blackberries, currants, plum. Slightly earthy. Tannins soft and luscious. Great mouthfeel. In its prime window now. Fantastic!

Jun 28th, 2023Drinking the 2016 in 2022. Dense deep claret color with long lasting legs. Slightly sweet nose with blackberry, boysenberry, cherry and dark rich fruit notes. Earthy, oaky finish. Very smooth flavor with low tannins and the aroma notes coming thru to the flavor. Wonderful wine, slightly lighter than most of the Nickel & Nickel vineyards, but very well balanced.
