2005 Nickel & Nickel Rock Cairn Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

If you've hiked before, chances are you've encountered a cairn—a stacked pile of rocks marking the trail, believed by some to be Native American offerings for safe passage. Similarly, the 2005 Rock Cairn from Nickel & Nickel artfully combines black cherry and green olive flavors with spice accents and firm tannins. It's a delightful wine enjoyable now and promising further evolution with time.
