The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon John C Sullinger Vineyard Oakville is a deep garnet-purple color with a crème de cassis, blackberry pie and eucalypt nose plus hints of Marmite toast, chargrill and lavender. Medium-bodied and elegant with fine-grained, approachable tannins, the fruit is open and ready for business. Yum!

COMMENTARY: I have always had a soft spot for Nickel & Nickel Sullinger Vineyard Cabernet and in 2015 the wine performed admirably. TASTING NOTES: This wine is simply a class Oakville Cabernet. The wine offers crème de cassis and an almost dried floral note in its aromas and flavors. The wine's persistence is outstanding. Pair this complete wine with a savory pork tenderloin.

A subtle nose here of blueberries, spices, a hint of mocha and crème de cassis. Full-bodied with integrated, soft tannins, fresh acidity and a fruity finish. Drink in 2020.
