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.

It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
92 Points, James Suckling
Since the late 1990’s Penner-Ash has been viewed as one of Oregon’s top wineries making gorgeous wines in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. In the 2021 vintage considered to be one of Oregon’s all-time great years, the 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that Lynn crafted is gorgeous, a silky tightly woven number that mixes red and black fruits with some sage and baking spices and a savory finish. It’s got some nice weight to it and structure which suggests it’ll age well for the next 10-15 years though it’s already drinking beautifully in its youth.
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.
