The 2006 Stickleback Red is composed of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Shiraz and 27% Grenache. It was aged for 12 months in used French and American oak. This crimson-colored wine has an enticing perfume of spice box, black cherry, black currant, and blackberry. Ripe, sweet, and layered on the palate, this sensational value totally over-delivers. It will evolve for 1-2 years but there is really no reason to defer gratification.
Wine Spectator
Lithe and focused, with crisp tannins and lively acidity to balance the ripe blackberry and black olive flavors, lingering on the open-textured finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Grenache. Drink now through 2012. 25,000 cases made.
