Matthiasson

Napa, Steve Matthiasson — restraint and balance as method.

Steve Matthiasson is a viticultural consultant turned winemaker whose Napa estate has become a reference for the lower-alcohol, balance-driven school of California winemaking. The flagship white blend, the Linda Vista Chardonnay, and the Phoenix Vineyard Cabernet bottlings are among the most quietly important California wines of the past two decades.
