The Winery

Nickel & Nickel

In 1997, Gil Nickel opened Nickel & Nickel Winery on the 42-acre John C. Sullenger property in Oakville, California. They opened to the public in 2003 showcasing their Cabernet Sauvignon based portfolio as well as some of their Chardonnay, Merlot, and Syrah bottles. Nickel & Nickel sources its fruit from different vineyards across Napa Valley and showcases them in their single-vineyard wines. From Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Stags Leap District, and beyond, the idea was to let each wine display its individual terroir. Vintage after vintage the wines continue to receive high praise from press and consumers alike, and represent high quality production in the Napa Valley.

WA92+
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon C.C. Ranch Vineyard comes across as dark, brooding and totally unyielding. Scorched earth, tar, licorice and dark fruit all emerge from this muscular Cabernet Sauvignon. There is good intensity in the glass, but the tannins aren’t quite as polished as they are in the other wines in this lineup. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029.
