Napa Valley Village Cabernet Sauvignon

Old School, Pre-parkerization style Napa Valley Cabernet. Lighter than what you would be used to, but beautiful. The palate is vibrant and fresh, with medium tannin and beautiful acidity. This wine will age beautifully, but is ready to drink right away"”it will always appreciate a little time in a decanter, carafe, or water pitcher"”whatever gets the job done for this Village Cab.

About the Winemaker
Matthiasson Wines was founded in 2003 by Jill and Steve Matthiasson after years of work in the sustainable agriculture and local food movement. Based in Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District, this small family winery remains proudly independent—no partners or investors—just their vision and a passionate, hard-working team.
Steve Matthiasson is one of Napa's most respected viticulturists, known for consulting with top estates on sustainable farming. The Matthiassons believe grape vines are living creatures whose flavor reflects plant health. Their wines' complexity, balance, and beauty come from vineyards with strong, deep, healthy roots growing in living soil surrounded by rich ecosystems—birds, butterflies, bees, and complementary plants, with no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Farming & Cellar: All vineyards are farmed organically with regenerative practices constantly pioneered. Vines are tended entirely by hand, touching every vine over 20 times annually. They grow both familiar varieties (Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon) and rare ones (Ribolla Gialla, Refosco), crafting classical expressions that honor their origin. Wines are deeply flavorful yet refreshing and moderate in alcohol—'crystalline and pure, dense but not heavy, full of focused flavors, vitality, succulence and grace.'

Shipping cost is 35 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value! Remember, all orders over $200 get FREE SHIPPING!
