Nickel & Nickel John C. Sullenger Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon with a flame-grilled steak
For a well-marbled, grade A cut of meat, such as a bone-in ribeye steak or a perfectly grilled porterhouse, you will want a premium wine with ample yet balanced tannin to match the meat's richness, such as a cabernet sauvignon. One of the best you can find at select Costco locations is Nickel & Nickel John C. Sullenger Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery is known for crafting site-specific, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines that tell the story of the land, drawn from quality vineyards throughout Napa Valley.
Named after one of Napa Valley's early settlers, the winery's John C. Sullenger Vineyard lies just behind the Nickel & Nickel estate in Oakville. The sustainably farmed vineyard is prime real estate for growing terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The area's mineral-rich, sedimentary, alluvial soils, with good drainage and nutrient levels, produce high-quality fruit. The full-bodied wine is concentrated and complex, showing rich layers of black cherry, blackberry, dusty leather, espresso, and pencil lead. Its bold, well-structured character pairs well with the rich flavors of the flame-kissed meat.
