On the nose; a bit of funky sourness, blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, plum, berry licorice cola, dark turned earth, fresh dark florals with old violets.
The body is medium and has fine dry tannins. Blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, plum, strawberries, berry licorice cola, dark turned earth, fresh dark florals with old violets. Beautiful acidy with fresh ripe, polished finished.
Photos of, their Estate at sunset, sitting area on the property, fruit awaiting harvest from their Refosco Vineyard and another one of their Napa vineyards.

I love Steve Matthiasson. I love his philosophy and everything that he stands for. But I've always struggled with the wines. They are undeniably great. Very well crafted, balanced, technical, and delicious. But they lack that "magical" quality that would otherwise elevate them to top tier status. Maybe too technical? Again, I have absolutely nothing to take away from these wines. Wine "magic" is entirely subjective, but it's always missing for me in these wines. But I'll keep drinking because I believe they're on the cusp and I can't wait until that sip when I find it.
