Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

Full, bright ruby. Complex nose melds blackcurrant, black cherry, licorice, pepper and tobacco leaf, along with strong oak tones and herbal and leafy accents. Dense, smooth and sweet, with a fine-grained texture to the currant, spice and pepper flavors. The leafy quality carries through on the slightly dry, herbal finish. The least sweet of these 2010 cabernets but showing plenty of personality.

The highlight in this range from Nickel & Nickel, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Branding Iron Vineyard dazzles from start to finish. Plum, smoke, camphor and tar convey an impression of darkness and power to match the wine's full-bodied, intense personality. The 2010 impresses for its balance and superb persistence. Readers need to be patient here, but this is a magnificent wine in the making.
