C.C. Ranch sits on a knoll just west of the Silverado Trail in Rutherford. Nickel & Nickel uses 15 select acres of the 115-acre ranch for this single-vineyard Cabernet.

Nickel & Nickel is the single-vineyard winery in the Far Niente family. The vineyard's gravelly loam drains well, and the wine is aged in French oak. The 2022 is 14.8% alcohol.

The winery describes lifted plum and floral aromas, a plush texture, ripe raspberry and plum with spice, and soft tannins that brighten toward the finish, and calls it one of the most approachable wines of the vintage.

It's the softer of the house's Rutherford wines. Choose it to drink now, and the Quicksilver 2023 to keep.

Wine Enthusiast suggests decanting. Serve it with roast lamb or a ribeye.

95.0 Decanter
"From C.C. Ranch in Rutherford, perched on a western-facing knoll of volcanic bedrock, this wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 55% of which were new. The 2022 vintage is notably generous, with a touch more ripeness in its cherry, plum, and cassis fruits, delivering a slightly plumper profile. Medium to full-bodied, it is framed by polished, fine tannins and laced with fragrant wild herbs, a subtle hint of bay leaf, tobacco, and dark cacao. The finish is satisfying and harmonious, showcasing balance and elegance alongside its approachable richness. A refined and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from an excellent vintage. "

93.0 James Suckling
"Beautiful dark-fruit aromas and flavors on a sleek texture of fine-grained tannins. Red and black cherries, iron, earth and cocoa flavors. It increases its grip on the palate and finish, forming a firm, dry mouthfeel that will benefit from more time in the bottle."

"Consider decanting, or enjoy additional time in cellar"
