Visiting the Winery

Nickel & Nickel is located in Oakville, just across Highway 29 from the well-known Robert Mondavi Winery, on 42 acres originally settled as a farmstead in the 1880s. The winery’s collection of classic barns along with the property’s original Queen Anne home brings this historic site back to life, while at the same time housing a contemporary winery capable of producing custom single vineyard, 100 percent varietal wines.

This conspicuous property was first developed by John C. Sullenger, successful prospector and owner of gold, silver and quicksilver mines here and in the Sierra. One of the area’s early settlers, he had acquired the property in 1865.

Nickel & Nickel bought it in 1998 from Far Niente vineyard manager Alex Vyborny for $100,000 an acre — at the time an unheard of price. Grapes planted on the site had been part of the Far Niente cabernet sauvignon blend.

Visitors are welcomed at the restored 1884 Queen Anne home built by Sullenger from the profits of his mines. The Sullenger house includes tasting salons and an open-air wrap-around porch on the main level, as well as a large cellar space used for hospitality events.

One of the operation’s distinct barns was originally erected circa 1770 in Meriden, N.H., by the Gleason family. The 3,000 square foot pre-Revolutionary War-era hay barn was spared demolition when it was purchased in 2001.

After nearly two years spent dismantling the barn, designing blueprints, restoring and saving the original hand-hewn white pine and hemlock beams, fashioned in post-and-beam, wood-pegged construction, the barn was shipped in pieces to the Napa Valley. It was reassembled at the winery to house offices and a laboratory for the winemaking staff.

Nickel & Nickel 2009 Searby Vineyard Chardonnay
SON580 Nickel & Nickel

Floral aromatics blend with Muscat flavors along with the essence of grapefruit and pear to deliver a particularly robust experience. What’s more, we think you’ll find this selection’s mineral notes are nicely subdued, while the natural lemon-lime acidity is sweetened by the oak’s vanillia.
