Our Syrah hails from the north end of Napa Valley, the warmer, drier Calistoga District. Known for intense summer heat, Nils chose this Frediani Vineyard fruit to create a more concentrated, fuller-bodied & lush Syrah.

Nils's popular blend, sourced from our own Oakville District of Napa Valley. Named in honor of our best winery pooch, Chloe, who happily greets our guests. Chloe was born on July 23, 2012 in Lake County, California about 30 miles from her current home. Chloe’s mother was a Malamute, owned by long-time friends of Nils, and her father was an Australian shepherd who jumped the fence one day: a nice blend, inspiring Nils to bring her on board. Nils gave Chloe lifetime Vineyard Dog status, one of the best gigs out there.

Rare Napa Valley-grown Sangiovese is a light to medium-bodied stunner and a local favorite, growing right around the corner from Saddleback's Oakville estate.

New Release. Sourced from the Napa Valley side of the Los Carneros region in the southern end of the valley, Nils only made 122 cases of this popular, yet elusive dark, rich-red varietal rarely bottled on its own.

END OF VINTAGE!! 20% OFF A 3-PACK OF OUR 2011 30TH ANNIVERSARY RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON!!!

A dark purple in the glass with aromas of black tea and ripe currant. On the palate, bright and juicy, evoking the bursts of flavor found in peak-season cherries. Balanced tannins and a medium body lead to a cool, silky, long finish. This is an immensely approachable and food-friendly red wine. Pair with steaks, lamb, herb-crusted roasts and roasted vegetables.

Only 70 cases made. This cool-weather year yielded a small crop for Napa Valley Cabernet, so this precious cargo was well-treated in Nils's custom-made American oak/French oak barrels. Composition: 100% Cabernet. Aromas of violets and dark fruit abound; on the palate a brilliant, now silky balance of minerality, deep fruit and tannin. Finish is clean and lengthy.
