Nickel & Nickel 2005 Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the 2005 Tench Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Planted in 1973, Tench Vineyard is situated on the eastern edge of Oakville along the Silverado Trail next to the Screaming Eagle vineyard.  The area’s red, rocky soils of clay and volcanic rock have produced many famous Napa Valley Cabernets.  Nickel & Nickel produces Cabernet from just four acres of this late-ripening vineyard with northwest exposure. The grapes rapidly develop color and flavor as temperatures rise and harvest approaches.
