Discovering a Gem: Britt’s Exquisite Napa Cab

Navigating the world of Cabernets last week, I stumbled upon a masterpiece by Britt (Nichols) Richards, an extraordinarily gifted oenologist.

Britt, armed with remarkable experiences from esteemed vineyards like Jordan, Chappellet, and Keller Estate, and tutelage under the likes of Nicolas Morlet and Philippe Melka, has beautifully cultivated a $43 Napa Cab that boasts a magnificent 93 McD rating.

Her latest offering, the 2021 Nichols Napa Cab, unfolds a symphony of flavors – cherry, cassis, mocha, and an intricate mix of barrel spices, which establishes her prominence among the new-generation winemakers.

For wine enthusiasts keen on exploring innovative creators, diving into the offerings at Scale Wine Group would be a delightful start.

The Attems Sauvignon Blanc Venezia Giuli IGT 2022, priced reasonably at $14 with an 89 McD rating, carries a delicate harmony of herbal notes, grapefruit, and a uniquely engaging finish of lime flavors.
A delightful adventure awaits with the 2021 Attems Trebes Ribolla Gialla Collio, introducing the palate to a world of peach, orange, and subtle hints of white pepper, making it a fascinating choice for the exploratory wine lover.
Carrying the legacy of one of Italy’s finest, Gianni Masciarelli’s 2022 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC, available for inclusion in your exquisite collection, enchants with its delightful citrus and orchard fruit aromas.
