Matthiasson "Cabernet Sauvignon" Napa Valley, California 2022

FROM MATTHIASSON:

THE WINE: Our goal is to bring back the Napa Cab of yore, when it was vibrant and juicy, elegant and boisterous at the same time, red-fruited with accents of herbs and dark fruits, food-compatible, moderate in alcohol, and crushable while still complex and age-worthy.

THE PRODUCER: Winemaking, for us, is a natural extension of farming. We have both worked for many years in the sustainable agriculture and local food movement, and in 2003 we started Matthiasson Wines based on those values — purity, sense of place, respect, responsibility, deliciousness. Our wines are classical expressions of different grape varieties, some well-known like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, and some rare like Ribolla Gialla and Refosco. The deeply flavorful wines are refreshing, complement food, and are moderate in alcohol. Our small family winery is fiercely independent, no partners or investors, just the vision of Jill and Steve and a hard-working and passionate team. Our independence allows us to farm organically, with no compromises in the vineyard or the winery, creating the beautiful wines for which we are known.
