First time to have a wine from Nickel’s Quarry Vineyard, opened and decanted about 90 minutes before dinner. The decanting noticeably softened and smoothed the tannins. For a 2011 Napa, I was surprised by the predominance of the fruit- clearly trending toward cherry and red raspberry. Pretty much a one-note wine, but plays that red fruit single note very well.

A bit disappointed by this Rutherford cab, good but not enough character for my personal taste

Thin with a very short finish, anemic nose. Quite a disappointment - glad it was a gift.
