Wine from Loire
Filter
The Loire River runs right through the heart of the Loire Wine Region in France and has several sub wine regions including Valcay, Bourgueil, Anjoy, Nantes, Chinon, Choteaux, and Vouvray to name just a few. With its rivers and hills, immaculate gardens and castles, the Loire is known all over the world as the most scenic wine region in France. The Loire is covered in limestone and is reflected in the building material of choice for grand chateaux’s, modest homes, and more primitive barns and vineyards, which are all built from creamy white limestone. The River itself is 1020 kilometers long as is the Massif Central to its Atlantic Ocean destination. The Loire features lush rolling countryside with a river valley making it perfect for vineyards. The Valley is divided into three sections that include the Upper, Middle and Loire sections. The Lower Loir is dominated by wines using the Melon de Bourgogne grape, while the Middle Loire is dominated by Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc wines. The Upper Loire includes the Sauvignon blanc dominated areas of Pouilly-Fume, and Sancerre. There are two generic designations that can be used for the whole Valley, Cremant de Loire, and Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France.

Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Cabernet Sauvignon is made from Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Bear Track Vineyard is planted in three terraced blocks on the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley, just outside of the Howell Mountain AVA. The cool climate and iron-rich, volcanic ash soils result in small, tight clusters of concentrated fruit. Ample hang time before harvest yields a Cabernet Sauvignon with intense, dark fruit flavors and integrated tannins.
Nickel & Nickel Bear Track Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review:
With a plushness on the palate, this varietal wine offers spicy undertones of cedar, sage and oak, with woody tannin and thick, concentrated black fruit. Intense throughout, the berry richness is contrasted by flecks of iron and crushed rock. Enjoy 2029–2039. Cellar Selection

Review:
"Big, juicy, bold and powerful. Really driving, chunky, mouthfilling fruit and tannin. It's long, broad and expansive, a huge wine for those that enjoy massive Châteauneufs. It's all there though – the fruit, the ripeness, the smooth tannin , the acidity, the freshness. Will take time to come together then it will be very long lived. The most powerful Dame Voyageuse to date – don't expect an approachable second wine"
