Sorry, we are sold out of this vintage.
By selecting the best barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage along with some serious blending considerations, we are happy to announce that the party was put into the bottle in December of 2008. We’ve furthered the celebration by naming the wine “Nils” to honor his great dedication to fine winemaking. We had a blast with it! Yep, that’s Nils pictured on the label. He hasn’t grown up one bit!

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The wine has a tremendous nose of dark fruit, highlighted by black currants. Hand selected new French Oak barrels provide a complementary toastiness. With a medium-plus body and a fine acid/tannin balance, this one is a classic! Recommended to drink from 2009-2020.

4/5 Stars, Decanter Magazine
Food Pairing Notes
2017: This gorgeous wine presents as one of the best food Cabernets: pair with sauced, composed dishes by romantic candlelight, as well as charred backyard barbecue. It's delicate balance is pleasing to a wide variety of palates.

11.2.2014 Lovely nose of blackberry, cabernet, dust and leather, more of the same on the palate, medium/big body, tasty, mouth filling, long finish and aftertaste. 4* Decanter, 92 points Parker, 91 points IWC. Nils as the first to receive a 100 Points from Parker for his 1985 Groth Reserve cabernet Sauvignon.
