The Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 from Napa Valley is a rich and polished expression of Rutherford Cabernet, showing a deep garnet colour with vibrant intensity. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of ripe plum, boysenberry and blackcurrant, complemented by floral and herbal nuances alongside subtle cedar and oak spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a creamy, generous texture, revealing flavours of raspberry, plum and cassis intertwined with hints of spice, dried herbs and a distinctive mineral edge. Fine, soft tannins provide structure without heaviness, giving the wine both depth and elegance. The finish is long and refined, with lingering dark fruit, spice and a touch of earthy minerality, making this a harmonious, well-balanced Napa Cabernet with excellent ageing potential.
Nickel & Nickel's C.C Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of single-vineyard winemaking in Napa Valley. This full-bodied red wine showcases the complexity and depth that California's premier wine region is renowned for, with rich black fruit character and subtle chocolate notes that develop through careful vineyard selection and thoughtful winemaking practices.
The C.C Ranch vineyard benefits from Napa Valley's ideal terroir, a combination of well-draining soils, optimal sun exposure, and the region's distinctive diurnal temperature variation. These conditions allow Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to achieve exceptional ripeness while maintaining balance and freshness at 14% alcohol, resulting in a wine of remarkable structure and livelihood.
This versatile Cabernet pairs beautifully with an array of cuisines: from grilled meats and beef to aged cheddar and blue cheese, mushroom dishes, and even dark chocolate. Its complexity makes it equally suited to casual entertaining aboard a yacht or as the centerpiece of a formal dinner at a fine dining establishment.
