Still an exceptional merlot. Deep purple color. Continues to be a big, rich meaty merlot. Last of 5 bottles that I bought and I enjoyed each bottle. Opened and drank over two hours and the wine kept evolving and improving.

Bought 5 bottles years ago after reading some very solid reviews. This was bottle 4 of 5, and each has been exceptional. This one had strong cherry and herbal notes, excelllent structure and a smooth, extended finish. I have enjoyed several Nickel vintages from Harris Vineyard, all are good, 2010 is a stand-out. Still excellent, but will drink bottle 5 of 5 in 2021.

Big and luscious...amazing that this is a merlot. Cassis and berries on the nose, and spice and dark fruit on the palate. Drink them if you have them. I can’t imagine they will get much better

Cherry aroma, notes of chocolate and vanilla. Opened 3 hours before drinking, served with a tomahawk ribeye.
