2021 Nichols Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain

Nichols 2021 Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from old-vine vineyards rooted in the rocky, volcanic soil. It has a classic mountain fruit nose of crushed cassis and graphite. This is rich, powerful Cabernet, just jammed with black-cherry and blackberry fruit, tightly framed by firm tannins. This wine is structured to last but has a fruit quality to it that will make it hard not to drink this holiday season with any type of roasted meat. If it tastes like wine twice its price, well, it should.
