If you are reading this, you’re likely a fan of what Steve and Jill Matthiasson do as farmers and consultants to many big-dollar wineries and winemakers. Steve has a stacked CV with a laundry list of A-List clients, but even more impressive, 6 James Beard Nominations and the title of Winemaker of the Year from San Francisco Chronicle AND FOOD & WINE Magazine!
They don’t make big, fat wines for their own label -- this Chardonnay, from the cooler side of West Oak Knoll, is literally in Steve and Jill’s backyard and is meticulously farmed. It is picked in multiple passes, the earlier picks for minerality and acidity, the later ones for fruit, flesh and richness. This wine really does have it all and it clocks in at just 12.2%! It’s crisp and fresh and piquant, but amazingly blends the sensation of something richer. Lush baked apple, zesty citrus, pie crust...all in a light, balanced, clean frame. SO GOOD! We can’t think of a better Chardonnay to drink this summer.
What else is so good -- our price, oh yes!! Load up (while we have it)!
