The medium to full-bodied palate is vivacious with loads of poise and freshness plus firm, grainy tannins, finishing long."

Black cherry & blackberry with dark fruit, soft tannins and dark cherries in the palate. Paired well with a smoked cheese and spicy ham.

2022 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Medium/medium-heavy body. Ripe nose. This was supple and giving from the get-go. Nice mineral subtleties beneath the richness currently. Thank you @Neil Valenzuela 12.10.25.

Deep ruby. Plenty of spice with cocoa and oak. Very interesting. Mediums tannins. Another great Nickel & Nickel wine.

Dark plum in the nose with black cherry, anise and leather in the palate. Did not pair well with a soft white cheese, but went very well with a spicy bresaola
