2021 Jeremy Nickel Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

This is a dark and dense wine that opens with earth-focused elements. Potting soil and morel mushrooms give way to black currants, black cherry, allspice, and cloves. Tight, grippy fruit tannins accentuate the dark cocoa, cherry cola, sandalwood, and five spice. Leaving a soft, plush finish that lingers with plum skin, chocolate, and cherries.
