Lastly, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Hayne Vineyard comes from St. Helena and is another beautiful wine in the lineup, which as a whole showed beautifully. Juicy red, blue, and black fruits, lots of chocolate and spice, medium to full body, and silky tannins all make for an outstanding, satisfying 2017 Cabernet that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 15 years or more. This was a great lineup from Nickel & Nickel and these wines are well worth seeking out.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Hayne Vineyard is rich, racy and silky, just as wines from this site tend to be. Dark cherry jam, wild raspberry, espresso, mocha and wild flowers all lift from the glass. Medium in body and silky with tons of persistence, the 2017 is wonderfully open-knit today. I would cellar it for a few years, its considerable immediacy notwithstanding.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Hayne Vineyard has a nose of stewed plums, raisin cake and espresso with dried herbs, tilled soil, tobacco and charcuterie plus notions of camphor and Chinese five spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy with a good amount of spicy fruit on the finish.
