Since 1993 Nichol has been creating wines exclusively from grapes grown in Naramata. Our vineyards, on a pocket of land tucked against steep heat-radiating rock cliffs, are the ideal place to craft wines demonstrating intense fruit and refreshing acidity. Our soils - glacial till, granite shards, bedrock and silt - create a site that is extreme and unique.

Listed below are the notes for our current releases. If you would like to discuss any of our wines, please feel free to send us an email at sales@nicholvineyard.com or find us on Twitter or Facebook to share your thoughts.

2012 Pinot Gris

Tasting Note:
Light salmon in colour. An intense nose of peaches and grapefruit with a touch of spice. The palate is dry but lush and soft in 2012 with vibrant acidity and a long grapefruit tinged finish.

2012 Nine Mile White

Nine Mile White is a dry, refreshing blend of our Gewürztraminer (65%) which comes from an acre planted behind the winery 1400 feet above sea level and Riesling 35% from slightly south on the Bench. The two sites give us cooler nights than the rest of our vineyards and a slightly later harvest date resulting in bright, aromatic fruit with plenty of refreshing acidity.

2012 Tasting Note
As a reflection of 2012 this is very aromatic, medium bodied and refreshingly mouthwatering. It has typical gewürztraminer aromatics of roses and lychee but also green apple and peach on the nose from the Riesling. On the palate this is medium bodied, with fresh acidity and a decidedly green apple skin  tinged finish. Fresh and lively it is an awesome thirst quencher.

2011 Nine Mile Red

2011 is the fourth vintage of Nine Mile Red we have made though we have been growing the grapes that make up this wine for over 20 years. It is a very small production blend of our St. Laurent with a barrel selection of our Pinot Noir. Hand-picked, basket pressed and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
2011 Tasting Note
Medium, bright ruby in colour with aromas of blueberry, strawberry and thyme. The nose is all about fresh blue and red fruits. Medium bodied, fruit driven and bright with enough tannin and acidity to handle substantive food but not so much that it overwhelms delicate flavours. Drink now - 2017.

2010 Cabernet Franc

Our Cabernet Franc is sourced from 13 rows of vines at the front of our property and from an acre planted 700 meters below the winery. We pick and farm our Cab Franc with an eye to optimal maturity, through very low yields, combined with a focus on acid retention.  We want this wine to taste and smell like Cabernet Franc should; savory, minerally and full of berry fruit character all enhanced by focused acidity.

2010 Tasting Note
The 2010 Cab Franc has a dark ruby core with ruby rim. Blueberries, tobacco leaf, cardamom and forest floor on the nose. Full bodied, with a core of bright berry fruit wrapped in chalky tannins. Tobacco  leaf and bouquet garni on the driven, bright finish. Classic Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2017.

$30.00 | 220 cases produced

2010 Pinot Noir

Our 2010 Pinot Noir is in very limited production and comes from 6 rows from right beside the winery, and from a site 700 meters up and behind the winery. Medium red cherry in colour with aromas of salmon berry, thyme, leather and ripe plum. Medium bodied with savoury tannins and a long, bright finish.

$30.00 | 150 cases produced

2010 Syrah

Our Syrah vineyard was planted in 1990 and is located in the in the north east corner of the property behind the shed.
In 2010 we handpicked the Syrah on the 24th of October. We strive to achieve all the amazing characteristics of cool climate Syrah; elegance, focus, aromatics and a balance between ripe fruit and savoury notes that Syrah grown in a cool climate can manifest so profoundly.

2010 Tasting Note
Dark ruby core with a vibrant ruby rim. Aromatics of lilac, sweet game meats, pepper and sage. Full bodied with red to dark berry fruity, damson plum and sage. There are ample tannins here and we see this entering a good drinking window by the fall of next year with another 5 to 8 years ahead of it. Drink 2012-2020
