Nickel & Nickel Store

Fragrant plum and blackberry aromas, framed by notes of clove and cardamom, open onto palate filled with layers of blackberry and boysenberry flavors supported by a firm core of tannin. Soft vanilla and mineral accents add dimension to the full finish of this beautiful, age-worthy wine.

Element 28, Nickel in the Periodic Table, is an extraordinarily beautiful vineyard. Located high in the hills across from Lake Henessey, this vineyard has a nice western exposure, comprised of shallow, gravelly loam soils which produce small vines with loose clusters and small berries. Three different clones offer a variety of concentrated fruit flavors that are hallmarks of this hillside vineyard.
