Nose

On the nose hints of black currant and blueberry lead into cedar, cardamom, and turmeric aromas.

Palate

A full-bodied mouthfeel that has rich fruit notes of fresh black cherry and plum that finish with pistachio.

Winemaking

Nikiara is Le Vigne Winery's flagship wine, whose
namesake is a combination of names "Niki" and "Kiara",
the two children of Owners Walter and Sylvia Filippini. This
blend showcases the influence of Paso Robles terroir on
the renowned structure and flavor of its constituent
Bordeaux varieties. Structural tannins are ample, yet
surprisingly smooth in the wine’s youth, due to the strong
diurnal temperature swing at our Acquarello estate
vineyard where this blend was grown.

Aging

20 months in New French and American
oak
