The Story

Nottingham Cellars was launched in 2009 by the Cranor Family with a singular mission to produce world-class, site-driven wines from a handful of local vineyards on the Central Coast. Over the years, they explored many regions, producing small lots of many varietals from several sites, along the way dialing in the "house style". After a decade in Livermore, CA, Nottingham moved to Napa to be close to their growing partners as they began to explore and produce wines from both Napa Valley and Sonoma County. They are constantly on the hunt for exciting new vineyards, creating a program of constantly evolving sites and wines. These offerings are the driving spirit of the program. It is here the winemaking team gets to experiment with different sites, fermentation, aging strategies, barrel trials, and new winemaking strategies.

The Values

The Nottingham Cellars team has a deep appreciation for old vines, historic vineyards, and renowned growers. However, their primary criterion is whether the wines produced from these sites truly reflect their varietal and wine-growing origins. This exploratory mindset allows the winemaking team to refine their skills by tackling the unique challenges and subtleties of various vineyards with diverse growing conditions. The result is an exciting portfolio of wines each vintage, with a steadfast dedication to passionate winemaking that consistently exceeds expectations.
