The 2014 Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of historic significance, profound maturity, and the kind of fully evolved, magnificently complex Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that represents one of the most compelling and genuinely rare drinking opportunities in the Maison Fayard portfolio. The White Label designation signals a wine of particular house distinction — a reserve-level selection crafted from the finest vineyard material of the vintage and given the extended aging necessary to fully realize its exceptional potential. Now well over a decade from harvest, this Cabernet has developed with extraordinary grace: the 2014 California vintage, praised for producing wines of outstanding natural balance, concentrated fruit character, and the structural integrity for exceptional longevity, has given the Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet a foundation for development of the highest quality. In the glass today: aromas of dried black cherry, cassis, cedarwood, graphite, dark tobacco, leather, dried violet, iron mineral, and a profound earthy complexity of magnificent richness lead to a silky, completely integrated palate with resolved tannins of great refinement and a finish of extraordinary length and vinous satisfaction that speaks of Napa Valley Cabernet at its most magnificently mature.
