Nestled in the southern foothills of Sonoma, are the vineyards of Nicholson Ranch which are planted in one of the world’s most prized grape-growing regions. Nicholson Ranch enjoys a combination of soils, sloping hills and climate that is ideal for producing premium grapes.
We were invite to visit and taste their award winning wines. Nicholson Ranch Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs have won Double Golds and Best in Class awards in past years in the San Francisco Chronicle wine competition, the largest judging of American wines in the world.
We enjoyed these Estate wines while seated in a sun-drenched outdoor courtyard with 360 degree views of their vineyards and picturesque hillsides. We had the opportunity to sip over 90 of their wines. We toured their caves listening to the story of their farming and winemaking while savoring their best selection of wines.
Their grapes are grown naturally and sustainably. All their wines are made from grapes grown on their 40 acre Estate, fermented in small batches and aged for as long as three years in French oak barrels.
