11/06/2009Nickel and Nickel was an appointment only stop and we were ushered into a drawing room and given a nice glass of the 05 Chardonnay. There was a short introduction then we set off into the courtyard where a long time was spent extolling the virtues of barn building and how many millions they have spend restoring their barn. Mmmmm wonder where the millions came from?..we soon found out! The tasting room was excellent and the array of wines excellent. What came across was the almost fanatical attention to producing eclectic wines all with different flavours but none which were truly complex. I found the wines overall to be somewhat shallow and one dimensional. I guess this comes from the single grape single vineyard style. I would have preferred to see some better complex wines. Ironically their best wine, in my opinion, was what they called Lightning Strike and this was an error wine where a wine was blended accidentally. My pencil written note for this was ?great error should do it more often?!
