Nicholson Jones
St. Helena Sauvignon Blanc
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
‘15 still tasting great, Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long successful marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing and wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Pale lemon, aromas of citrus, stone fruits with honey notes. On the palate peach, crisp apple and melon flavors with citrus zest wrapped in lively acidity. Long finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Nice! Small production.

Grapefruit nose and initial palate with an almost buttery follow thru. Almost a wine oxymoron . Lovely aperitif!
