Matthiasson
Matthiasson Vineyard Ribolla Gialla
Napa Valley, California, USA
So how to describe this wine. Looked oxidized but wasn’t. Smells like some noble rot but we know there isn’t. The wine is a total enigma. Honey, orange marmalade, almond, palate coating but not unctuous. I really enjoy it.

Summer. Wines like this are what it makes me want to drink. Not your normal Napa (hashtag:)

Exciting stuff. Funky fruit, earthiness, crazy acidity.
