The Melanson Vineyard is situated
on the south facing side of Pritchard Hill at 1300 feet above Napa
Valley's eastern ridge. Matthew's Block is 8 acres of Clone 7 and
337 Cabernet Sauvignon that was meticulously planted to take
advantage of the slope and climate.
 Matthew's Block Cabernet Sauvignon - Tasting
Notes
Strong cassis aromas mixed with cedar and
allspice. Gives a very warm and inviting impression (like an
alpine log cabin in winter). The wine enters the mouth
warmly. The tannins are focused at first at the front of the
palate, then spread elegantly across the rest of the palate.
This wine is classically structured with firm but not
overwhelming tannins, and enough acidity to allow it to pair
perfectly with a host of foods (cedar planked salmon, lamb with
rosemary, east-Indian inspired meat dishes to name a
few).
It should age beautifully for a decade or more.
