Take a Napa Valley Road Trip with Nickel & Nickel
Pellet Vineyard sits on gravelly loam that drains fast and pushes roots deep. Warm days, cool nights, a wide swing between the two. This site builds structure without losing freshness. The wine opens on dried herbs, then a mix of dark and red fruit with real volume and depth. The tannins are refined and silky, and it carries through to a long, polished close.

By the time the car reaches Oakville, the day has warmed up — and so has the wine. This is the generous middle of the valley. The Branding Iron Vineyard is small, eight and a half acres, tucked close to the base of the Mayacamas on well-drained clay loam. Warm mornings, warm afternoons, a long hang time — the kind of sun that shows up in the glass.

Truchard Vineyard sits on volcanic ash and rock. Cool and slow to ripen, the fruit holds its acidity all the way to harvest. Whole-cluster pressed, barrel-fermented, with no malolactic fermentation. What's left is white peach, pear blossom, a line of citrus, and a finish with genuine energy.
