The 2023 El Nico is a bold yet beautifully balanced blend of Garnacha, Graciano, Mataro, and Tempranillo sourced from the rugged limestone-rich hills of the Adelaida District in Paso Robles. Inspired by the great wines of Spain yet unmistakably Paso Robles in character, El Nico captures both power and elegance.
Deep ruby in color, the wine opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry, dried fig, and plum layered with notes of cracked pepper, sage, to***co, leather, and subtle vanilla from extended aging in Spanish and American oak. On the palate, Garnacha brings vibrant red fruit and lift, Graciano adds spice and freshness, Mataro contributes structure and earthy depth, while Tempranillo delivers richness and a long, velvety finish.
