Matthiasson

Steve Matthiasson is a Napa Valley grower and winemaker widely regarded for his vineyard first approach and for helping redefine what restraint looks like in a region traditionally associated with ripeness and extraction. Alongside his wife Jill Matthiasson, he works with a range of organic and dry farmed vineyards across Napa and Sonoma, focusing on balance, moderate alcohol levels and transparency of site rather than density or oak influence. His work spans both consulting and estate fruit, and he is closely associated with a more European inspired interpretation of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and blends, with an emphasis on freshness, natural acidity and controlled ripening.
