Nichelini Family Winery
The Oldest Family-Owned Winery in Napa Valley
A porchlight on the 1895 Nichelini home invited everyone to stop in, enjoy some wine, and tell stories into the night. Now, once again, you can enjoy the same oak-aged, port-style red dessert wine shared by the family.
Deep garnet in color, to be served at cellar temperature. Aromas of baked apple, almond, vanilla, clove and orange peel, with flavors of dried cherry, seasoned oak and baking spice. Rich and smooth, with a sweet & spicy finish.
Porchlight is a tribute to port-style wines. It is sweet and high in alcohol - finding the right balance is where the magic lies. I take a beautifully fermenting wine and capture it with grape spirits, then I age it in oak barrels for an extra-long time to develop its robust aged flavors.
