Britt Nichols resume speaks volume on her potential as a budding Cabernet star. Stints at Jordan, Peter Michael and most currently, Philippe Melka, have prepared her to make stunning wine from a myriad of appellations. Her debut Knights Valley Cab, Origins, is so good, with dark, hedonistic fruit and fish that goes a country mile. It might be near impossible not to drink these bottles quickly as the fruit is so good but don’t be afraid to lose a few bottles in a proper cellar. Like Britt herself, this wine has loads of potential.
The best part of any deal with Britt is that we are still in the infancy of a brand in the making. It’s not so easy to carve out time to sell wine when you have a day job AND a demanding newborn to tend to. The raw materials of Nichols Origins, the Grand-Cru, low yielding vineyard fruit, the new barrels not to mention her education, add up to a $50+ type wine. But Britt wasn’t working the books at Jordan, Melka or Peter Michael, she was learning how to make great wine. This is an amazing deal considering what was put into the bottle.
This is lights out Cabernet. Don’t miss it.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
