Lush, big, bodacious, and loaded with blueberry cream, cassis, plum, currant, sage, vanilla and gloriously toasted oak. A genuine crowd pleaser for aficionados of bold Napa reds. – November 2022

Nickel & Nickel Winery

Nickel & Nickel winery, located in Oakville, Napa Valley, is dedicated exclusively to
producing 100 percent varietal, single-vineyard wines that best express the distinct
personality of each vineyard. Established by the partners of Far Niente in 1997, Nickel &
Nickel is focused on producing single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from
the appellation’s most significant AVAs.

Nickel & Nickel represents a distinct departure from the flagship Far Niente estate wines
that are produced from a combination of vineyards and varietals. The partners also felt
it necessary to have a winemaker devoted to each winery – Far Niente, Dolce and Nickel
& Nickel -- in order to produce the quality wines that are their hallmark. These factors,
along with a noticeable upsurge in the market’s interest in vineyard-designated wines,
led to the launch of Nickel & Nickel as a separate brand.

The winery is located on the historic, 19th century John C. Sullenger farmstead, a 42-
acre vineyard property situated directly north of Opus One and across Highway 29 from
the Robert Mondavi Winery. The partners bought the property in 1998 specifically for
Nickel & Nickel. The project broke ground in June 2001, and the first crush was held at
the new winery in 2002. Construction of the project was completed in the summer of
2003, at which time Nickel & Nickel opened its doors to the public.
