The 7 Best Red Wines From Napa Valley’s Famed Calistoga AVA

Nickel & Nickel 2020 Kenefick Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga Napa Valley
California

This juicy wine is made by winemaker Joe Harden from 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the heart of the Calistoga AVA. After harvest in mid-September, the fermenting wine sat on the skins for 18 days and then was transferred to French oak barrels (50 percent new) to age for 18 months. It is inky purple in the glass with aromas of violet candy, black raspberry, and dried cherry with well structured, pleasantly grippy tannins, and flavors of cigar box, black plum, and brown baking spices. Drink now through 2035.
