Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a rich and intense wine that showcases the exceptional quality of Napa Valley's Bear Track Vineyard. This Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of careful farming practices and meticulous winemaking techniques. The vineyard's unique location on the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley, combined with the cool climate and iron-rich, volcanic ash soils, produce small, tight clusters of fruit that are packed with concentrated flavors.
The wine's deep ruby color leads to a nose of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of vanilla and oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of ripe black fruit, plum, and espresso. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine's concentrated flavors, leading to a long, smooth finish.
Tenacity, innovation and a single-minded commitment to “vineyard and varietal” have established Nickel & Nickel as the leader in single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Every Cabernet offers the purest expression of its vineyard. No two vineyards are alike. And, as the release of the new 2022 Nickel & Nickel Cabernets can attest, neither are any two vintages. Taste the pure, powerful expressions of unparalleled Napa Valley vineyards. The 2022 Nickel & Nickel Single-Vineyard Cabernets are crafted with excellence and made to be savored.

Tasting Panel Review - Rated 94:
An unrestricted dynamo with hold-on-to-me tannins. Plush plum and dusted violets meet in a maelstrom of crushed stone, soy sauce, and fennel. Given time, this statuesque gem will mature to acquire even more depth
