Sweet but not cloying. Delightful on its own, or in a fancy negroni. Probably the best vermouth I’ve had (though I am not an aficionado!) — 4 years ago

This is why we love the Matthiasson’s, always experimenting, innovating, and refining!

1hr+ decant. Bright red color. Massive floral nose with apricot. Well balanced with medium depth. Apples, olives, oranges, and peaches on the palate. If having blind, I’m pretty sure I would have gone white or at a minimum a massive Rose. Best comparison would be a floral Beaujolais. I don’t get any Syrah. Paired very nicely with lamb, peppers, and saffron rice. Would be lovely on a summer night. 93 and heading higher because I can’t seem to put the glass down, especially because of the lovely, unique smell! Reminds me of a beer I once had but can’t recall its name. I find myself just continuing to write about this!! — 6 years ago

Another Chard made in an oxidative style. Loved this two years ago, but this had more baked apple and less verve. — 9 years ago

Wow. Mathiasson Cabs keep getting better and better. Medium body, dark fruit, some violets. A cab with real finesse. — 4 years ago

First time trying this “villages” Chardonnay from Matthiasson. For the price quite nice. I think it satisfies the concept of a more accessible less expensive introduction to their Chardonnay - ie, a villages wine - quite well. Very good pairing with a goat cheese and broccolini tart. — 6 years ago

A lean blend of tropical fruit and Meyer lemon - and solid minerality (limestone?). Some debate ensued about how this compared favorably with Alsace. — 9 years ago

Took some time to open up. When it did, it had wonderful soft red fruit and cherries with a tiny bit of herbaceousness. By no means was this a big, plush merlot. I really like how these folks make their wine. It was very versatile, going well with scallops, gnocchi, and Korean pork on a steamed bun. — 11 years ago

Lone pine is a great name for this vineyard because the Lagrein really delivers pine notes on the nose. Delicious and well made. — 5 years ago

This unfiltered sav blanc has big bright acidity and bold flavors of lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Nice mouth watering finish — 13 years ago
