Tasting Notes
The 2010 Sullenger has ample black cherry and blackberry flavors with layers
of tobacco and earth, characteristic of central Oakville. The wine’s defining
velvety thickness and beautiful texture emphasize this flavor profile, expanding
on the middle palate and easing into the supple tannins that make this wine so
ageworthy.
Vineyard Notes
The home vineyard of Nickel & Nickel, Sullenger Vineyard is situated behind
the winery in the heart of Oakville and is named for John C. Sullenger, who
settled the farmstead in the 1880’s. The vineyard’s 30 acres of clay loam soil
are planted exclusively to Cabernet Sauvignon.
