Established in 1997 by the partners of Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel is based on a philosophy of producing 100 percent varietal, single-vineyard wines that best express the distinct personality of each vineyard. It is from some of the most coveted vineyards in the Napa and Sonoma valleys that the Nickel & Nickel wines are produced. Nickel & Nickel currently produces a collection of single-vineyard, 100 percent varietal Napa Valley Cabernets from six subappellations including Oakville, St. Helena, Howell Mountain, Rutherford, Stags Leap and Yountville. The balance of the portfolio includes single-vineyard Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel from sites in both Napa Valley and Sonoma. Long-range plans call for the production of as many as twenty-five 100 percent varietal, single-vineyard wines.
