  Dark red/purple color. Exquisite nose of violets/lavender, dark plum, cassis, menthol and black olives. Dark cherry/plum/currant on the palate with additional notes of tobacco, dried basil and toast. Impeccable balance and perfectly integrated. Long finish and super soft tannins. Great example of an Oakville Cabernet. Fantastic!

  Still young but like all Nickel too bitter and musty for me. Opened 2-3 hours in bottle.

  Don’t get me wrong, this is a very good bottle of wine. Great fruit concentration, good structure, and a lovely spice on the finish. However, with all of the great wines in the world, this was also uninteresting and fell a little flat, especially for the price point. There are more memorable wines out there for less cost. Decanted 1 hour.

  Deep, dark color. No rim color variation. This is a big chewy cab for sure! Dark fruits and tea/tobacco on the nose. I’m loving the finish. Great well balanced wine!
