2007 Nickel & Nickel "John C. Sullenger Vineyard" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

As delicate as Napa Cab gets, with a subtlety missing in so many other wines. The nose is reticent, the flavours of mannered blackberry and cherry, with a strong graphite streak. Medium-full-bodied and understated, this is a Cal Cab that will show its stuff in the future. 18/20 points (LM)
