January 30, 2017 - Was great to taste this again, as it's been some time since I had a bottle. Creamy, pear and apple, citrus and a nice drying finish. Went fantastic with the kale/radicchio salad we paired to it. Retasted the next day and it maintains the intensity and zingy energy, showing some lemongrass and fig (maybe from the Sauv Blanc?), along with citrus/lemon skin. Holding up well, and like all the Matthiasson whites we had during the dinner, this is low on the ABV scale, shows no overt wood and it pairs with food. Genius.
January 30, 2017 - Matthiasson Dinner (FMIII in the OC): This was a top 5 wine for me in a past falltacullar and it showed very well again tonight. It's low alcohol with a light, dainty mouthfeel. Nose is yellow apple but the palate adds a lime twist. This is a blend of lots of interesting grapes and put Matthiasson on the map. Cool stuff.
June 21, 2016 - Honeysuckle, pear, peach and lemon on the nose. Lemon tartness, bright, lively, melon , peach juice , hint of grapefruit and grass, and finishes with fresh pineapple.
June 2, 2016 - - Yellow color and has flavours of grapefruit.
October 27, 2015 - I wish I would have drank it all yesterday. Instead, I just had 1/2 glass. Then, it was full of bright, wonderful acidity, with both intriguing aromatics and flavors. Today (day 2) it was nothing more than a slightly unique Sauv. Blanc.
90+ on day 1 ; 87 on day 2.
October 2, 2015 - Crisp and delicious as always. One of our favorites.
July 4, 2015 - Crisp with nice citrus, minerality and slight sweet notes with good complexity and finish
May 11, 2015 - Quite fine. Again, tasted a few days ago in restaurant setting, so the details evade me.
April 11, 2015 - limited notes, lovely fresh white, would like to have more of this
April 5, 2015 - Very light hay in color, this is a delicious, crisp white blend, lean and dry, but good mid-palate flavor, and a steely/mineral finish (assuming 12 was similar to 13, web site says 55% Sauvignon blanc, 25% Ribolla gialla, 15% Semillon, and 5% Tocai friulano). Impressive showing for a Napa white.
