Nickel & Nickel
Kenefick Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA
This is another NEW wine for 2016 "Kenefick Ranch." I don't know if Delectable can fix this yet. On the nose, dark muted currants, black licorice, loamy soils, black berries, blueberries, plums, vanilla, dark chocolate and caramel. M+ sticky tannins...it's a big wine. Dark currants, good spice, black licorice, baking spices, blackberries, blueberries, olallieberries, huckleberries, dark cherries, strawberry preserves, loamy soils, crushed rocks, dry stones, leather, star anise, tarry notes, dry stems, liquid red florals, black cherry licorice/cola, volcanic minerals. The finish is; rich, lush, juicy, round and ripe fruits with tannins that soften in the long finish. Photos of the use of a barrel tap device and people finishing up at the barista station.

Same comments as before. But now it’s just about a pnp. Big cab, nice medium strong tannins and juicy finish. Fruit is ripe, minerality, earthiness is well structured. Black licorice, chocolate, caramel all present. Drinking really well now after 30 minutes.

Dec 2nd, 2021This is a really nice wine, one of the better N&N cabs. Luscious black and blue fruit. Bit of black cherry as well. Licorice, soil, strong tannins but mellowing out. Nice dense finish. Really strong cab. Lovely!

Full body, dry, prominent tannins, smooth with loads of black fruits. Excellent!

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, wet fruity, cherry, raspberry and strawberry with florals and vanilla. On the palate, currant, plum, sweet honied florals, long finish of currant, sweet florals and hints of chocolate and vanilla. Very smooth and balanced.
