Syrah

2005 NICHOLLS Syrah, Santa Barbara County White Hawk Vineyard
We sourced our fruit from a vineyard located on the south-facing slope of Cat Canyon, a side canyon of the Los Alamos Valley in Santa Barbara County. Planted at 900 feet of elevati ... moreon on pure sand, water and nutrients are immediately drained off forcing the vines to work extra-hard to survive. The resulting yields are miniscule and the berries are intense. A strong core of acidity is complemented by elements of spice, meat and blackberries. A terrific, big Rhone-style Syrah with just enough acidity to make it perfect with food. Try throwing a hanger steak on the grill and opening a bottle of this wine!

Cabernet Sauvignon

2005 NICHOLLS Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Dr. Crane Vineyard
We sourced our fruit from a well known producer located in St. Helena, Napa Valley. Originally planted almost 150 years ago, it was replanted in 1998. The well-drained, gravelly lo ... moream soil there helps create wines with a tremendous concentration of cassis, graphite, and other characteristics reminiscent of a great Graves. This wine has just been released and has yet to be reviewed. A true value; it's in a league with wines twice the price and is destined for cult cab status. Look for review in the June Wine Enthusiast Buyer's Guide (suggested retail $85, rated 86 - good value).
