Nickel & Nickel 'Fog Break' Cabernet (2022)

This wine opens with a bouquet of violets, dark espresso, and the eucalyptus trees that dot the hillsides around the Estate. On the palate, concentrated flavors of black cherries, boysenberry, and mission figs are complemented by earthy nuances of sage, graphite, and volcanic minerals, evolving into a well-framed finish with aromas of Valrhona cocoa powder, tobacco, and basalt. The firm structure and mouthcoating tannins reflect the vineyard’s sun-drenched exposure, offering a rich freshness and distinct complexity.
