Matthiasson’s Napa white is one of my favorite CA wines but don’t sleep on the red. Predominantly merlot Bdx blend, elegant and finessed, purple berries and cassis, violets, black tea, cedar and cocoa. Just entering peak drinking IMO

Explosive bouquet of raspberry jam, cassis, potpourri, oak spice and sandalwood. Quite resolved structurally, maybe slightly thin on the palate but very nice bottle

This tastes like a blend in a good way, offering both tangy sweet red and brooding darker fruit tones, chocolate, tea, olive and underbrush. A very complete Merlot-dominant bdx blend

Beautiful classically styled Bdx blend, in a great place with some nice secondary stuff seeping in. Nose has black cherry, cassis, wet leaves, tea; tannins are smooth, palate has sweet red and black fruit with earthy and floral elements on the back
