18 Oakville AVA CONTINUED MONDAVI WINERY Robert Mondavi Winery was established in 1966 by Robert Mondavi, after leaving the Charles Krug Winery. Today, Mondavi wines have become some of the most well-known and widely distributed wines from the Napa Valley. Constellation Brands holds current ownership of the winery. Mondavi chose this location in Oakville due to the To Kalon vineyard planted on what is now some of the Mondavi property. To Kalon, meaning “highest beauty” in Greek, is prized as one of the world’s greatest vineyards and was first planted by H.W. Crabb in 1864. NICKEL & NICKEL Nickel &Nickel was established in 1997 by the partners of the Far Niente Winery. Nickel &Nickel is dedicated to producing 100% single-vineyard wines that showcase the different characteristics of the many appellations fromwhich they source their grapes.
