Philippe Melka Has Done Amazing Work with the Top-tier Fruit of this Estate!
Nestled in the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley next door to world class estates like Harlan and Bond, The Vineyard House Estate is a beautiful piece of Napa Valley History. These incredible vineyards were the project of the legendary Gil Nickel of Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel.
Jeremy Justin Nickel was blessed to grow up in an agricultural family that always sought to exceed the highest standards. From a young age, Jeremy's father instilled in him the mantra that success is derived from three fundamental principles: Integrity, passion, and elbow grease.
Today, Jeremy not only lives by these teachings, but like his father, is driven by these ideals.
The launch of Jeremy Nickel Cellars is an opportunity for Jeremy to share his passion and drive for exceptional wines along with his entrepreneur spirit.
The 2018 Growing Season Was Almost As Perfect As It Could Get in Napa
Almost ideal weather conditions and a long, slow paced harvest period allowed the full potential of these grapes to shine.
The near picture-perfect growing season began in late February. Spring was mild, with extended flowering yielding uniform grape clusters. Temperatures remained steady and warm throughout the growing season, without any significant heat spikes, making for a cool, unhurried harvest.
Philippe Melka's World-Renowned Craftsmanship, The Majestic Terroir and Impeccable Management of The Vineyard House Estate culminate to form this Rock-Star Cabernet!
TASTING NOTES:
A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc, this wine embodies the essence and spirit of Oakville delivering a smooth, big wine with lots of body and medium tannins. A symphony of aromas ranging from tobacco, vanilla bean, coconut, cedar, oregano, coffee and eucalyptus explode from the glass. There is pleny of dark fruit like black currant and fig leading the palate into opulent and controlled tannins, showing a fine balance with a smooth medium-length finish that invites another taste.
Pair this wine with venison, mature cheeses and any beef or poultry.
Wine of this incredible pedigree usually demands a much higher price tag.
