Country: US / John C. Sullenger Vyd
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Nickel & Nickel / Oakville
Another in the new N&N; line, the Sullenger features red and black fruit, herbs, some earth, and an appealing whiff of sautéed pancetta or bacon. Commendable richness in support of black-plum flavor and coffee notes. Its poundcake-like density urges cellaring.
