Nickel and Nickel Winery is all about single varietal, single vineyard wines and the Bear Track Vineyard is a beautiful Cabernet from the folks at Far Niente. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Vineyard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena opens with a cocoa and graphite accented finish that melts into the palate, this recent addition to the single-vineyard portfolio also possesses abundant plum and spice aromatics, bright raspberry notes and a lush texture, from start to end.

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.
