Announcing our newest release: the 2014 Dolce, Napa Valley
Beautiful things happen with time. Like impeccably aged wine, perfected recipes and meaningful relationships that lead to fantastic stories. Our blogs chronicle them all. Read on to learn about our wines, favorite recipes and adventures along the way.
After seven years spent aging to absolute perfection, our 2014 Dolce Napa Valley is releasing just in time for glamorous gifting and midnight toasts. Just what is it that makes Dolce so prized, not to mention a favorite holiday wine?
What began in 1985 as a small batch wine modeled after the sought-after Sauternes of Bordeaux has evolved into the pinnacle in late harvest winemaking in America. From the berries picked, individually, by hand, to the three years each vintage spends in the Dolce caves aging in new French oak, there’s no single magic ingredient, rather, it’s all in the hundreds of tiny, intentional details.
When it comes to personalized wine gifting, our exclusive selection of engraved wines will add a meaningful touch to your holiday giving and gathering.
From classic Far Niente Chardonnay to a party-sized format of Nickel & Nickel State Ranch Cabernet, explore three of our most enchanting holiday jewels. Each of these Napa Valley favorites is elegantly etched in festive script, so the bottle can also be displayed long after the last glass has been savored.
“All time quality, this will be one for the ages.” – Joe Harden, Nickel & Nickel Winemaker
As we rush headlong into the holiday season, our winemakers can’t stop talking about … harvest 2021! While the season wrapped several weeks ago -- even Dolce had picked their final late harvest blocks by November 3 -- it seems the quality of our Napa Valley and Russian River Valley fruit left a powerful impression on our entire Far Niente Family of Wineries & Vineyards winemaking team.
Read on to hear what they all had to say.

Calling all mountain wine lovers! At Nickel & Nickel, we currently grow and craft single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon across eight Napa Valley American Viticultural Areas (AVAs). Some, like Oakville and Rutherford, stretch across the fertile Napa Valley floor and up into the lower foothills. Others, like Howell Mountain, climb to rugged elevations that stretch into and above the fog line. There, the weathered soils tend to be less nutrient-rich and the climate variations more extreme. And, Nickel & Nickel Winemaker Joe Harden says, you can taste those differences in the wines that result. Ready to explore Nickel & Nickel’s more rugged side? From the Howell Mountain Cabernet Joe says “hits on all cylinders” to his favorite biodynamic bottling, Winemaker Joe Harden and Director of Vineyard Operations John McCarthy share the dirt on three of Nickel & Nickel’s most distinguished hillside Cabernets.
