2023 2023 Côté Nicault Full Disclosure
- Winemaker Gilles Nicault
- Appellation Red Mountain
- Varietal WeatherEye Vineyard Grenache
From the time Gilles Nicault arrived in the Columbia Valley, he dreamed of crafting a wine that would capture the pure reflection of the New World terroir reminiscent of his Rhône Valley heritage.
Tasting Notes:
PDFSourced entirely from WeatherEye Vineyard, this 100% Grenache is powerful and generous while maintaining remarkable freshness and precision. The nose opens with ripe figs, dark cherry, and spiced plum, layered with fragrant notes of fresh sage, dried Provençal herbs, and dusty potpourri. On the palate, a lush core of red and dark fruit unfolds with hints of mandarin orange zest, warm spice, wet stone, and subtle chocolate. Refined tannins provide structure to the wine’s impressive volume, while vibrancy brings balance to the wine’s richness. Bold yet elegant, with a distinctive herbal and mineral character, the finish is long, savory, and expressive, revealing a Grenache of both immediate allure and exceptional aging potential.
Vineyards
Perched high along the rugged ridgelines of Red Mountain, WeatherEye Vineyard is defined by extreme exposure, persistent winds, fractured basalt, and dramatic variations in slope and soil. These demanding conditions are particularly well suited to Rhône varieties, especially Grenache, producing wines of striking intensity and clarity with refined structure and a distinctive expression of this remarkable site.
