Review: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 Advocate

Stickleback wines are a great introduction to what Heartland can offer - pure, animated and complex fruit flavors. The label design reflects the bright, fun characteristics of these wines. The three spines of the Stickleback fish on the label represent the three varietals used in the blend.
