Brix26 Tasting Notes93+ Points                                                   
Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the Bear Track Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

96 Points Tasting Panel: "Concentrated aromas of blackberry, cassis, and blueberry rise with precision, accented by mineral and graphite notes. The palate is dense yet finely tuned, with layers of dark fruit wrapped in firm, polished tannins. Structured and powerful, it carries a mineral edge that extends into a long, commanding finish."

Brix26 Tasting Notes: "The Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Vineyard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena opens with a cocoa and graphite accented finish that melts into the palate, this recent addition to the single-vineyard portfolio also possesses abundant plum and spice aromatics, bright raspberry notes and a lush texture, from start to end."

Founded in 1997 by the partners behind Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel specializes in single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Bear Track Vineyard is planted in three terraced blocks on the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley, just outside of the Howell Mountain AVA. The cool climate and iron-rich, volcanic ash soils result in small, tight clusters of concentrated fruit. Ample hang time before harvest yields a Cabernet Sauvignon with intense, dark fruit flavors and integrated tannins.
