Nickel & Nickel
Element 28 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
On the nose, dark minerals, muted dark currants, fresh & dry dark florals, violets, dark cherries, strawberries and red licorice. On the palate; ripe bright fruits on first entry, lean & soft tannin structure, dry crushed rock powder, volcanic minerals, notes of a woody quality, leather & underbrush. Lean & ripe; dark cherries, cherries, blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, touch of graphite, nice acidity, good structure with a beautiful, long finish. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Photos of look as you walk up out of their cellar and the old Nickel & Nickel truck. I'm not a vintage car expert but it looks like it comes from the later 1920's

Great mouthfeel, so dense with a nice long finish. Big black and red fruit with some blue coming through in the finish. Tar, tobacco, licorice, pencil shavings. Drinking very well now.

Definitely needed to breath for a bit before enjoying. Dark fruits and minerals on the nose. Meaty and chewy so this one is for me.
