Cabernet vines rooted in a mix of alluvial and volcanic soils thrive in Oakville, their development slowed and refined by cool nights brought on by access to the cooling influence of the San Francisco Bay. The best of Oakville offers Cab with dark, jammy fruit balanced by firm structure and fine tannins. Of course, this pedigree comes with a price. Even the mass marketed Oakville Cabernet fetches $75+. So, when i get wind of high-quality, boutique Oakville Cabernet under $50, I take notice. At under $30 on cases, I buy every drop. So should you….Britt Nichols is the new player on the Oakville scene and her debut vintage is sure to keep her there a long time.
Her resume speaks volumes on her potential; stints at Jordan, Pete Michael and most currently, Philippe Melka, have prepared her to make stunning Cabernet. Her debut Oakville Cab is remarkable wine. A shimmering purple color right to the edge, with layered fruit and a complex, fine finish. It will be nearly impossible not to drink this wine right now for the sheer pleasure of the fruit but don’t be afraid to lose a few bottles in the cellar, like all great wines from Oakville, it’s built to last.
The best part of this deal is that we are in on the ground floor..it’s not so easy to carve out time to sell when you have a day job AND a demanding newborn to tend to. The raw materials of Nichols Oakville Cab, the Grand-Cru vineyard fruit, the barrels, the education, add up to a $70+ wine. But, she wasn’t crunching numbers at Jordan, she was learning how to make wine. More than 50% off– you’ll thank me when this wine is about to be famous and expensive.
There are precious few cases to go around on what is sure to be the best deal on Oakville Cabernet all year. Don’t miss yours.

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.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
