2020 Nickel & Nickel C.C. Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford
Impeccable vineyard provenance and excellent craftsmanship come together in this distinguished magnum of C.C. Ranch Cabernet. Experience balance, finesse and pops of plum and red fruit flavor in every sip.
TASTING NOTES
The 2020 C.C. Ranch is all about finesse, with lifted plum and floral aromatics opening onto a beautifully plush palate. Ripe raspberry and plum flavors are underscored by seductive spicy notes, with soft tannins gently supporting the wine from entry to completion. With fruit that grows brighter and fresher as the wine progresses to the finish, this Rutherford Cabernet may be one of the most approachable and mouthwatering of the vintage.
