Linda Vista Vineyard • Napa Valley
I first worked with fruit from the Linda Vista Vineyard in 2018 at Donkey & Goat, then in 2019 at Matthiasson. I could sense that there was something special about this fruit, so when I set off on my own I knew I had to have some.
Taste
Electric acidity, crushed seashells, apple, ripe melon, pineapple. Refreshingly low in alcohol. This is the wine I want at my dinner table day in and day out.
Story
Vineyard
The Linda Vista Vineyard sits on alluvial soils in the south end of the Napa Valley, where the cooling influence of nearby San Pablo Bay is a major factor. The cooler climate helps preserve acidity and mineralogy of these grapes. Farmed organically by the Matthiassons.
Winemaking
The grapes were gently pressed. The juice was left to settle in tank overnight and then spontaneously fermented in neutral French oak barrels. After finishing fermenting, two barrels were left on their lees until bottling to build texture and complexity, while the third was racked to stainless steel for brightness.
