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. Others, like Howell Mountain, climb to rugged elevations that stretch into and above the fog line. There, the weathered soils tend to be less nutrient-rich and the climate variations more extreme. And, Nickel & Nickel Winemaker Joe Harden says, you can taste those differences in the wines that result.

From the Howell Mountain Cabernet Joe says “hits on all cylinders” to his favorite biodynamic bottling, Winemaker Joe Harden and Director of Vineyard Operations John McCarthy share the dirt on three of Nickel & Nickel’s most distinguished hillside Cabernets.
Calling all food and wine lovers! Get ready for one of summer's sunniest white wine and seafood combos. We're pairing the vibrant fruit flavors – and irresistible tropical perfume – of Bella Union's Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc with our favorite blood orange crab salad. This limited-release wine is artfully crafted from estate-grown fruit, and it's only available from us.
As for the crab salad recipe, it marries dungeness crab with bright blood orange and vinegar-pickled mushrooms chanterelle or hedge hog mushrooms. This easy seafood salad is one of our favorite culinary chameleons. Serve it in a sandwich, as an appetizer, straight from the bowl, and always with a glass of Bella Union Sauvignon Blanc.
