Nichelini Winery

by Jenavive on August 27, 2006

This is the oldest family owned winery in the Napa Valley. It is located along Highway 128 east of Silverado Trail. There is a little picnic area and a bocce ball area just below where the wine tasting and winery are located.

I enjoyed their Zinfandel the best. It was pretty reasonably priced at $25 per bottle, and free of defects. We also bought a bottle of their Chiles Valley Red because it was a good value for the price. I was not impressed with the Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon, but I tend to like fruitier wines and these ones were from 2001 and 2002 so their fruity characters were gone.
