november 2026 Dear Single Vineyard Enthusiast, There's no better time than the quiet after harvest to taste with intention. This shipment gathers four Nickel & Nickel Cabernets from the 2024 vintage—State Ranch, Element 28, Lattice Run Vineyard, and Morisoli Vineyard—an opportunity to study a single varietal and a single year across four distinct sites. Poured side by side, they reward close attention: notice how aromatics, tannin texture, and the length of the finish shift from one vineyard to the next. These are the markers that reveal the hand of place, and they only grow more telling with time in the bottle. Taste them now, then revisit over the coming years to see how each site's signature deepens. With appreciation,
Joe Harden nickel & nickel winemaker
