- 2020 Matthiasson Cabernet Franc Matthiasson Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley (3/3/2025)
Last minute replacement, so it didn’t get to warm up or get any air, but still an excellent wine. Light bodied and only 12% alcohol, it still had plenty of crisp red fruit, and a lovely touch of green tobacco. The fruit was a bit on the dark red spectrum, or I might have suspected the Loire. Food friendly and very easy to drink.
For those who don’t already know, Matthiasson is fully organic, and Steve Matthiasson does a lot of consulting focused on organic/ sustainable.
