2013 Nickel & Nickel 'Element 28' Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Element 28 is the most open and accessible of these 2013s, in relative terms, of course. Black cherry jam, hard candy, menthol, cloves and new leather build to the juicy, opulent finish. The tannins need time to settle, but Element 28 should be one of the first 2013s here to drink well. This is the first vintage I have tasted the Element 28, a young vineyard just on the northern edge of Lake Hennessey planted by proprietor Erik Nickel in 2009." - Vinous
