97-Pt Vintage, 94-Pt Napa Cab—Over 30% OFF & Only Here!

94 points from wine enthusiast saying:
"This impressive bottling is gently wound in tannins that will support its deep black currants and black cherries as the wine ages to reveal more spicy complexity. Yet the wine is tempting to drink sooner due to the lush cassis and cinnamon flavors. Best from 2025."

background:
Nottingham Cellars was launched in 2009 by the Cranor Family with the goal to produce world-class, site-driven wines from a handful of local vineyards on the Central Coast. Over the years, Nottingham explored many regions producing small lots of many varieties from a number of sites, along the way dialing in the "house style". After a decade in Livermore, CA, the headquarters moved to Napa to be close to their growing partners as they began to explore Napa Valley and Sonoma County.

The team has an affinity for old vines, historic sites and well-known growers, however, the only mandatory criteria to the team is whether or not the wines produced from these sites reflect their varietal and wine-growing origins. This exploratory-driven mentality helps the winemaking team hone their craft by taking on the various challenges and nuances from a number of different vineyards with a broad range of growing conditions.

winemaker's notess:
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was produced primarily from vineyards in Atlas Peak and Saint Helena. These two vineyards bookend the spectrum of their Cabernet portfolio and are the perfect counterpoint to one another. Wolf Family Vineyard on the valley floor in Saint Helena produces wines with dark berry fruits, soft tannins and rich mouthfeel. Hendrickson Family Vineyard in Atlas Peak is highlighted by its vibrant natural acidity, grippy tannins and more red toned fruit flavors and aromatics. The two sites create a harmonious base, while small percentages of wines from Rutherford, Oakville and Oak Knoll create nuance and complexity."
