Nicholson Jones
Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Yountville, Napa Valley, California, USA
I went to Covert to taste the Nicholas Jones Sleeping Lady. I have two vintages (14 & 16) in my collection but have never had one. I bought on recommendation from @Paul T HB.
I had hoped to try their 2023 but they are still tasting their 2019. Per my host, they hold back their Sleeping Lady awhile longer to age further in bottle.
This 2019 was the best in the tasting. It demonstrated to me that I could open my 14 or 16 or continue to hold awhile longer.
I would say that the Nicholas Jones demonstrate more depth & character over the Covert.

Sleeping lady never disappoints, only 150 cs.
The nose on the 14 needs some coaxing, but you can drink it immediately.

Sleeping Lady vineyard is a great barely known vineyard. Get some if you can find some.
Seems I’m the only one rating this bottle from this vineyard🤷🏼♂️
This vineyard is at the western edge of the Yountville AVA was once a fast-moving river that deposited jagged rocks and sand from miles away and created a thick layer of gravel beneath the topsoil. Our block of vines are located where this layer is closest to the surface. This superior drainage produces small berries with greater concentration and a juicy blue-fruit, floral finesse.

But only $99.00
