The 2012 Hayne Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark, opaque wine with bold aromas of cherry and blackberry along with vanilla, graphite, spices and a touch of licorice. It possesses a full body that is supported by round, polished tannins and shows wonderful concentraton. This becomes somewhat accessible with air, but it still a youthful wine and not quite as approachable as some of the other offerings from Nickel & Nickel in 2012, however that being said it should continue to evolve nicely in the cellar.
