Rutherford
2019 Nickel & Nickel Quicksilver Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford
Ample aromas of black fruit, savory spices, and sandalwood leap from the glass in the 2019 Quicksilver Cabernet Sauvignon. Lush raspberry flavors are lifted by vibrant acidity and restrained, refined oak. Tannins are well-balanced and finely-integrated, allowing ripe berry flavors along with soft floral and dust accents to shine all the way through to the finish.

Late spring rains and a mild fall in 2019 created an excellent vintage with rich flavors.
The 2019 growing season began with late spring rains during flowering and fruit set. Cover crops between the vines flourished, putting rich nutrients into our soils. Our fruit set itself was lighter than usual, resulting in exceptional concentration and retention of flavor and aromas in our clusters. Mild fall temperatures allowed fruit to mature fully, without being overly tannic nor overly ripe. 2019 was an excellent vintage overall that will continue to impress wine lovers and collectors for years to come.
Club Cabernet
Far Niente’s Club Cabernet wine club was created for lovers of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Capturing the elegance of Napa Valley’s historic Rutherford.
Rutherford, blessed with deep, gravelly soils and a mountain face that shades its western reaches from the setting sun, enjoys copious amounts of sunshine, which shapes the bright fruit, silky texture and smooth tannins in Rutherford wines.
Harvested from Quicksilver Vineyard
The Quicksilver Vineyard lies on the western Rutherford bench in the acclaimed area on Bella Oaks Lane. The soils are predominantly well-drained loams that produce vines of moderate size. These older vines were planted to the California sprawl system, with wider spacing and a divided canopy, giving excellent exposure to the fruit. Minimal irrigation is needed to obtain maximum fruit potential.
