Steve and Jill Matthiasson are some of Napa Valley's most respected growers and winemakers; their style is significantly more elegant and vineyard-driven than many other producers with more more and cult status behind their labels. Steve has trained some of the best viticultural folks in the region, moreover; they’re real farmers and their knowledge of the vine sets their wines apart—this is no marketing shtick. The ‘Dead Fred’ vineyard in Napa is one of the vineyards that forms the core of their regular Napa Valley blend; in certain good vintages they will set some of the fruit aside and bottle it as a special single-vineyard wine, as in here. In 2021 in Napa there were drought conditions, which lead to extra concentration, but despite the structure this wine still shows its hallmark graphite and forest berry notes. They recommend it paired with prime rib and “rosemary smashed potatotes,” which we love.
