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.

At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
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.
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.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
