Nottingham Cellars Holiday Trio

Three Nottingham Cellars reds chosen for the holiday table.

2022 Riverside Cabernet Franc, Oak Knoll District
Nestled along the Napa River, Riverside Vineyard benefits from the cooling marine influence that defines the Oak Knoll District. Deep alluvial soils and consistent diurnal shifts foster extended hang time and complex phenolic development in Cabernet Franc. The site’s east-facing blocks capture the morning sun, preserving acidity and finesse in the finished wine.

2023 Sceales Ranch Grenache, Alexander Valley
Sourced from the historic Sceales Ranch in Geyserville, this Grenache comes from own-rooted, head-trained vines that are over 80 years old. These ancient vines, deeply embedded in the terroir, produce low yields of intensely flavored grapes, offering a rare and authentic expression of Grenache. The age and structure of the vines contribute to the wine's rich concentration, complexity, and distinctive character, preserving a piece of viticultural history in every bottle.

2023 Nottingham Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The Cabernet Sauvignon was primarily grown in the Oakville region (Oakview and Nemerever Vineyard), known for its rich, full-bodied character. The blend is enhanced with fruit from Mount Veeder (Nosotros Vineyard), adding structure and depth, while grapes from the Oak Knoll District (Deianni Vineyard) contribute a subtle elegance and complexity. Together with the addition of BDX blending varieties, these vineyards create a nuanced and well-balanced wine that showcases the best of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage.
