Winemaker Notes
Bear Track Vineyard is planted in three terraced blocks on the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley, just outside of the Howell Mountain AVA. The cool climate and iron-rich, volcanic ash soils result in small, tight clusters of concentrated fruit. Ample hang time before harvest yields a Cabernet Sauvignon with intense, dark fruit flavors and integrated tannins.
Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast
With a plushness on the palate, this varietal wine offers spicy undertones of cedar, sage and oak, with woody tannin and thick, concentrated black fruit. Intense throughout, the berry richness is contrasted by flecks of iron and crushed rock. Enjoy 2029–2039.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers a complex array of delectable nuances. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of blackberries, blackcurrants, and a hint of black licorice. Pair it with a grilled ribeye. (Tasted: December 12, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
Very expressive, with a rich, polished beam of cassis, violet, plum sauce and gently singed vanilla cruising through with quiet authority. Shows a solid bolt of graphite on the finish.
