Nickel & Nickel Cab Vogt Vineyard Howell
Description:
A beautiful Howell Mountain Cab that shows its terroir in the firm, rich tannic structure. And what gorgeous tannins they are, so refined and expressive. The fruit is perfectly ripe, suggesting currants, blackberries, red and black cherries, licorice and a hint of milk chocolate. Rewarding now, and should hold and improve for at least a decade. Perched atop Howell Mountain, along Napa's northeastern edge, the 15-acre Vogt Vineyard produces dense, concentrated Cabernet fruit showcased in this single-vineyard wine from Nickel & Nickel. Jammy currant and black plum fruit notes are balanced by violet aromas and a hint of spice that all continues on the palate. The wine is evocative of mountain fruit: dense and structured, but beautifully polished.
