Our family of wines is growing... Introducing Post & Beam! Click here to learn more.
Each individual vineyard is alive. At least, that’s how we see it at Nickel & Nickel. Alive with nuance and personality and attributes and peculiarities that shine through in every vine, in every grape, and ultimately in every wine that originates from this land.
At Nickel & Nickel, single-vineyard, 100% varietal wine is what has given us our reputation for dynamic, interesting, nuanced Napa Valley Cabernets. Every one of our wines is the pure expression of its particular vineyard. No two vineyards are alike. No two Nickel & Nickel wines are alike. And the discrete and expertly-tended vineyards that make up Nickel & Nickel assure devoted wine lovers of a singular and extraordinary wine experience every time.
The story, and the uniqueness truly start in the vineyards and in our decades of experience in growing and making some of the world’s finest Cabernets. Not just in one vineyard, but in the finest AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) throughout the Napa Valley. Nickel & Nickel has handpicked vineyards that resound with individual expressions of Cabernet so distinct, lush, and compelling that your mouth waters in anticipation of discovering your next new favorite.

Nickel & Nickel is located in Oakville, Napa Valley along Highway 29 on 42 acres originally settled as a farmstead in the 1880s. Our collection of classic barns adjacent to the site’s original Queen Anne-style home takes you back to a time when craftsmanship and hard work meant something. At Nickel & Nickel, it still does. Housed within the farmstead structures is an ultra-modern winery specifically suited to producing small-lot, single-vineyard wines. That is our craft. That is our calling. And the beautifully built barns that surround us remind us every day that craft and calling matter.
This was the year we discovered there was more to Far Niente than, well, Far Niente. Many vineyards we worked with at the time demonstrated extraordinary potential, and it was from here that the Nickel & Nickel quest for single-vineyard wines began. Over the years, this effort has proved more than successful as Nickel & Nickel continues to be the one and only standard-bearer for exquisite single-vineyard wines in the United States.
Wine Enthusiast released new scores, including 95 points for Far Niente's 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 95 points for Nickel and Nickel's 2018 John C. Sullenger Cabernet Sauvignon, and more.

Intense, with tarry grip throughout supporting wll-packed cassis, plum reduction and açaí berry paste flavors. There’s a buried graphite spine on the finish, with flashes of licorice snap and violet. Built for the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2040. - J.M.
"This features a nice dark core of cassis and creamed plum notes laced with violet, graphite and juniper hints. The finish flows wonderfully, with the graphite edge extending as long as the fruit for lovely balance. best from 2022 through 2034." - J.M.
"This is a savory, textured wine from a ranch off the Silverado Trail in the heart of the appellation. It sings in cedar, dried herb and sage, with an inviting, earthy nose. The grippy palate develops to show smooth integration of tannin and oak, with a lasting note of tobacco leaf on the finish." —V.B.
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon State Ranch gives up chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries and warm cassis scents with touches of violets, star anise, mossy bark and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers a good amount of juicy fruit with soft, well played tannins and an earthy finish." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Element 28 is scented of ripe blackberries, boysenberries and black currant pastilles with touches of dried Provence herbs, lavender, cigars, tilled soil and fallen leaves plus a waft of dried sage. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound and taut with great tension and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
