Well-drained gravelly soils and afternoon breezes off San Pablo Bay moderate ripening, giving the wine a brightness unusual for 100% Cabernet at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNickel \u0026amp; Nickel was built around a single idea: 100% varietal, 100% single-vineyard, every year. Founded in 1997 at an 1880s farmstead in Oakville, the lineup now covers 20+ distinct Napa Valley parcels under the direction of winemaker Joe Harden. Vaca Vista is the first Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard ever designated in Oak Knoll — and one of the most approachable in the lineup. Wine.com's Wilfred Wong scored the 2019 at 94 points: \"packed and well-textured on the palate... aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and oak.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eGrilled lamb chops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eherb-crusted lamb mirrors the wine's sage and savory spice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAged ribeye steak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe wine's structure and dark fruit demand high-quality beef\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eRoasted portobello mushrooms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eearthy umami lifts the black cherry and tobacco notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Eastside Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62447002714271,"sku":"8500","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/nickel-nickel-napa-cabernet-vaca-vista-vineyard-2019","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
