Sourced from Nickel & Nickel's estate Sullenger Vineyard in Oakville, which surrounds the winery and tasting barn and extends east toward the Napa River and south to the Opus One property line, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 21 months in 55% new French oak. Crafted by winemaker Joe Harden, the 2022 vintage offers a beautifully lifted and perfumed profile. The wine features a juicy core of focused fruit, complemented by the hallmark tannins of western Oakville, reminiscent of soft suede leather. Blue and black-toned fruits are underscored by graphite minerality, wild herb nuances, and a medley of Indian spices, creating a layered and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon with power and finesse.
