Off the Beaten Path: Exploring Nickel & Nickel’s Hillside Cabernets

Calling all mountain wine lovers! At Nickel & Nickel, we currently grow and craft single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon across eight Napa Valley American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). Some, like Oakville and Rutherford, stretch across the fertile Napa Valley floor and up into the lower foothills.
