Very dry and crisp without puckering. Exceptionally clean finish. Minerally, mild salinity. “Like you licked a rock out of the ocean,” says the waitress at the Catbird seat. — 2 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. — 2 years ago

My husband likes the really sharp, grapefruity sauv Blancs which I’m less enthused by so they suggested this at the wine shoppe, and I was pleasantly surprised. Nice and minerally but still has that sharper citrus element too. — 3 years ago

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!) — 2 years ago

This is actually their Yount Mill Vineyard Zin.
Light jam, smooth, great nose. — 2 years ago

1hr+ decant. Medium red color. Wine is a mix between Mexican food and cigarettes, which I know is strange. Subtle green elements and minimal fruit. Tough vintage. — 3 years ago

A lovely every day balanced red wine. Not to harsh for lighter meals not to light for red meats and game meals. — 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!! — 3 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. — 7 years ago

Wonderful high acid and refreshing. No tropical fruit here. A light nuttiness. Some of my favorite whites being made in CA today. — 10 years ago
