Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Professional Ratings

• 92 Wine Enthusiast
  Offers a blast of sweet red cherry candy flavor, accented with new oak notes of buttered toast and caramel. There’s no question this 100% Cabernet is delicious, but it’s also fiercely tannic. Makes the gums quiver. Should develop in the bottle over the next seven years.

  The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon C.C. Ranch Vineyard is one of the more immediate wines in this line up. It shows lovely persistence in its attractive, dark red fruit, flowers, licorice and tobacco, but then tapers off a bit on the finish. This is one of the simpler wines here. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
