97 Point Vintage ~Wine Advocate: 2015 Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
We’ve tasted our fair share of exceptional Napa Valley wines, but the 2015 Nicholson Jones Cabernet Sauvignon is a true revelation.
Ever wondered what it’s like to taste Napa Valley at its peak? This is it.
This isn’t just another Napa Cab. It’s a labor of love from Julien Fayard, a winemaker with experience at Château Lafite Rothschild and Quintessa. But the real magic comes from the vineyards: Sugarloaf & Sleeping Lady.
Sugarloaf Vineyard is one of Napa’s best-kept secrets, producing wines that have hit 99-point scores. Take Bevan Cellars’ Sugarloaf Mountain wine, for example—sourced from the same vineyard, it goes for $225 a bottle. Yep, you’re in 99-100 point vineyard territory here.
Then there’s Sleeping Lady Vineyard, home to some of Napa’s most iconic wines. Grapes from this vineyard are the backbone of Alpha Omega’s ERA wine, which sells for $330 a bottle. Even Sterling Vineyards taps into Sleeping Lady’s potential, with bottles going for up to $165. These vineyards are behind some of the most sought-after wines in Napa Valley.
And the vintage? 2015 was a pure magic vintage for Napa Valley, scoring a massive 97 points from Wine Advocate. It's the kind of wine you'd usually stash away for that special moment. But guess what? The moment is NOW! After 9 years of perfect aging, it’s ready to be enjoyed. Pop it open and let the good times roll!
Julien Fayard has a way of bringing out the best in these vineyards. With the 2015 Nicholson Jones Cabernet Sauvignon, he’s created a wine that’s more than just delicious—it’s a showstopper. Think lush, dark fruits with a hint of spice, and a finish so smooth it feels like velvet. Bold, sophisticated, and totally indulgent. Trust us—looking to impress that special someone? Bring this bottle. Want to elevate your dinner? Pop this open. Ready to make a statement? This is your go-to.
