What a wonderful Napa Merlot from Mathiasson. Quite deep in the glass. Tons of pepper on the palate which is interesting. Lots of dark red fruit - not blackberry, but blackcurrant. Excellent acid and a nice finish. Great pairing with pork chops with a mustard sauce. — a month ago
The Never Say Never Cabernet Sauvignon from Raj Parr is sourced from the Dead Fred Vineyard in Napa Valley's Coombsville AVA, which is organically farmed by Steve Mathiasson. This traditional style Cabernet shows wonderful elegance and refinement, as it opens to inviting aromas of dark/red currants, red berry tea, zesty florals, tobacco, crushed graphite and a savory/herbal character that all take shape and emerge gracefully from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous medium-body that is impeccably balanced and well-structured with velvety tannins and wonderful acidity providing terrific freshness. It goes on to impress with its lovely bright character, displaying delicious mouth watering flavors of currants, crushed violets, fresh tobacco and zesty undertones which continue to linger all the way through the precisely focused finish. The 2016 is a beautifully crafted Cabernet that shows plenty of energy and verve in its youth, however readers should allow this beauty some time to settle down and mature, as it shows incredible promise to evolve and age exceptionally well for years to come. — 4 years ago
An absolutely wonderful Italian inspired white blend from the fine folks at Mathiasson. With 7 years of age this is really singing. Very balanced with great texture and verve without heaviness. Nice white and some floral / tropical fruit profile. Long finish. Really a treat. — 2 years ago
