Nottingham Cellars | Wine Tasting Details

Why should you visit Nottingham Cellars for wine tasting? 

Nottingham Cellars set up in Livermore because Jeff Cranor convinced his winemaking partner to help him buy some Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from there in 2007. Jeff was convinced that Livermore was a great place to grow grapes, and he was proven correct when his wines started raking in awards. What do they focus this greatness on? Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varieties. They create a line called the Supremacy, which is mostly a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and they have a line called the Vineyard Designate Cabernet Sauvignon, which is where the rest of the Cabs go.

While the winemaker for Nottingham Cellars doesn’t consider their product “natural” wine, they do use native yeasts and whole cluster fermentation where they think it makes the most sense.

You can sample the Cabernet Sauvignon in a modern urban setting if you come to their tasting room. You’ll know that you will have arrived when you see the modern beige building with the stone pillars in front. It will also have the name of the winery written in black over the door. They have a spacious patio for soaking in the sun while you are sampling your flight if you enjoy the view of beautiful Livermore. However, you can also sit at their polished found wood tables inside their large tasting room. There sometimes is a chance for a barrel tasting too, though you should check with Cellar Pass in advance for availability.

Any Cab enthusiasts will appreciate what Nottingham Cellars brings to the Livermore wine scene, and the tasting room is very cute and fun. Drop by for a flight when you are winery-hopping in Livermore.
