Dear Friends,
Happy Thanksgiving. We are excited to share your November Wine Club Relase, featuring three wonderful holiday wines – The 2022 Dry Farmed Pinot Noir, the 2020 Cuvee Natalie Chardonnay and the 2019 Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir. All are perfect companions for your holiday table.
We also have a special announcement to make – a new member of our wine family has arrived.. Nancy and I, and the Nicholson Ranch family are proud to announce Priya Rosé. Rosé has always been one of Nancy’s favorites and 2024 turned out to be the perfect year to make it.
Our new Pinot Noir vines, carefully nurtured over the past few years, yielded a small but beautiful crop in 2024. Bright and youthful, the harvest offered flavorful grapes that inspired this vibrant and refreshingly dry Rosé. Notes of ruby red grapefruit and dried strawberries, accented by a subtle herbaceous hint, make this wine a welcome addition to your holiday celebrations.
I named our Rosé, Priya, meaining “beloved” in Hindi, in honor of my wife, the inspiration (and instigator) behind this wine.
We are delighted to offer the inaugural Rosé as a three-bottle addition to your wine club package. This exclusive offer, available only to our wine club members through this email, allows you to add these bottles to your club shipment at a special price of $120 with no additional shipping cost. To add this to your shipment please click ADD ROSE THREE-PACK and send us your name in the reply.
In other exciting news, the 2025 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes harvests are complete! Cuvee Natalie Chardonnay was the first pick of the season, grown on a steep south-west facing hillside that gives it such distinctive character. Pinot Noir from the young vines – including the block planted by club members – came soon after. Our mature reserve Pinot vines were harvested just before the early autumn rains.
The 2025 wines are now resting in barrel and promise to be another exceptional Nicholson Ranch vintage.
We have much to be thankful for this year, and we’re especially grateful for you — our wine club members. Your continued support and passion for our wines inspire us every day. Thank you for being part of our family.
Happy Thanksgiving.
