2007 Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford

The 2007 C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon offers dark cherry fruit flavors that are bright and ripe at the same time. There are hints of “Rutherford Dust” and even a touch of black tea that complement the floral notes of the fruit. The wine is silky at entry and then seems to get fleshier and bigger as it expands on the middle palate before melting into a long finish.
