Steve fell in love with Ribolla Gialla while traveling in Friuli in 2005, excited by the variety of great wines coming from that region and the many different expressions Ribolla can take on. Shortly after he grafted some Ribolla onto 15-year-old Merlot vines at the Matthiasson home vineyard in Napa. This wine was fermented whole cluster with native yeast in an open-top tank using punchdowns. After two weeks the must was pressed, and the wine was aged for 18 months in neutral barrels. The wine aged sur lees and it was never racked. No SO2 was used until a tiny amount at bottling. While technically an "orange wine" this really drinks more like a textured, deeply mineral white. There are some subtle floral aromatics and just a kiss of tannin that hint at skin contact, but it's still airy and fresh with balanced acidity and a clean saline finish. Perfect with oysters or light seafood dishes, dreaming of summer by the water.

Wines from Napa Valley
One of the world's most highly regarded regions for wine production as well as tourism. The Napa Valley started to bring worldwide recognition to California’s winemaking abilities after finding success in the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976. Both a Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were submitted which bested several famous French labels in a blind tasting. These results cemented Napa’s reputation for being able to produce wines equal to that in quality of the very best from the Old World.
In red wines, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley today, covering half the land and commanding the highest prices per ton. Straight Napa Cabernet is one of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, a marvellous addition to any wine collection or cellar. With such high-quality Cabernet production, many winemakers also focus on creating fine Bordeaux blends. Other notable red wine varietals produced in the Napa include: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc.
The most prominent whites from the Napa are Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
