Matthiasson
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Sensual aromas lead in, and then this is so bright on the palate. Over time florals emerge- and glycerine, almost verging on soapy. Dark, transparent and ultramarine fruit. Not too acidic, but bright and lively nonetheless. Cali Cab that you could pair with sushi.

Medium plus bodied. Herbaceous and slightly leaner of Napa Cab. Red fruits and tobacco. Great balance.

Red fruit driven - 13.3% - neutral oak doesn’t fully resolve the tannins

Plum, grease, banana band aid nose. Boot strap. Brûléed orange rind. Tight two hours in. Acid charm. Mega glycerin. Good heat, balance, intrigue. Go Cali.

Beautiful nose of blackberry and vanilla. A little flat on the palate for me.

I straight up love Matthiasson. This one needs a little time to open and evolve. First smell and sip was straight up cherry off the bat. After opening up...on the nose: cherry, floral, Stoney mineral, very slightly dusty. On the tongue: cherry, blueberry, blackberry, slight “forest-ish” finish. Tannins are light and it’s mouthwatering. Who makes a Napa cab at 13% alcohol? This is food wine. Paired with a bison strip, phenomenal. Any kind of lean meat will pair well with the light, well rounded tannins.
