Label

Nick has always loved Eagles and all that they represent.
They have such a distinctive aristocratic appearance
showing strength with their wings spread signifying
protection. Eagles have excellent vision and patience. The
Eagle has a vine branch in his mouth as he soars over the
vineyard below. It seemed very appropriate to symbolize
Nick in this way. A visionary of all the possibilities that the
future can hold as well as the protector that oversees all
the day to day operations of the vineyard and winery.
