Gamache Vintners "Nicholas Reserve" 2010 (750ML)

91 WE

91 Points Wine Enthusiast: Cabernet Sauvignon makes up half of this blend from Gamache and Champoux vineyards, with the balance Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Coffee, vanilla, herb and cherry aromas lead to dark-fruit and barrel-spice flavors that linger. The wood is up front but plenty of good things are going on.

"Gamache Vineyard, 12% Champoux Vineyard. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Malbec. The 2010 Nicolas is one of our limited release barrel select blends in our Heritage collection featuring both award winning fruit from Gamache Vineyard and Champoux Vineyard. This gorgeous Bordeaux style blend honors Nicolas Gamache, the first member of our family to forge the path from France to the New World in 1654." -Winery
