Coloration is deep ruby. On the nose, dark cherry, raspberry, strawberry, red liquorice, spice and vanilla. On the palate, black cherry, plum, red liquorice and cherry cola. Finish is fruity, mostly cherry with some vanilla. Very smooth with mild to strong tannins.

Perfect bottle for business! Special thanks to James Darden for pulling these out of the library for me. Elegant and ready to drink.

After letting it breathe for two hours finally opened up. Nice soft nose with full fruit and spicy yet soft finish. Yummy

Nose of, fragrant creamy fruits of; blueberries, dark cherries, blackberries & black raspberries. Black cherry licorice and red roses. On the palate; poached strawberries, dark cherries, blackberries, blue fruits, chocolate, spice-box, leather, anise, underbrush, dry stems, black cherry cola & red roses. The finish is fresh, rich, round with good structure, length and acidity. Barrel tasted the 2016 vintage at the Nickel & Nickel Entrecôte. Photos of their grounds and the soils of the vineyard. The Martin Stelling Vineyard is located at the base of the western hills in Oakville. Nickel & Nickel farms two acres from this vineyard. The soils are composed of deep volcanic loam with underlying clay and gravel.
