The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Branding Iron Vineyard exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as opulent black currant and cherry fruit judiciously touched by hints of oak and graphite. Elegant yet powerful, rich, supple and exuberant with sweet tannins, it should be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. An impressive group of 2007 Cabernet Sauvignons from the Gil Nickel family represents an Oakville terroir lesson with the exception of the State Ranch which comes from a vineyard further south in Yountville.Tel.
