Your New Favorite Matthiasson, Sweet Vermouth No. 5 Napa Valley Holiday Cheer Edition [ygtWMTrO]

Variety: Flora (cross of Gewurtztraminer and Semillon); Bottle Size 375 ml 

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer. Daring to break Napa tradition, Steve and his wife Jill have planted rare, ancient Italian grapes though recognize that Napa loves all the well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together. This is real California wine and Matthiasson’s wines are where California wine is headed. Steve Matthiasson is a six-time nominee for a James Beard award, a serious achievement in the wine industry. He has also been named “Winemaker of the Year” by both Food & Wine Magazine and The San Francisco Chronicle. Steve and Jill are long time friends and mentors to Hart & Cru. 

A neutral grain spirit infused with blood orange, sour cherries, and coriander. This is mixed with late harvest Flora grapes infused with chincona bark and thistle. 

This is perfect as an apertif, Manhattans, Negronis, Boulveardiers, or as a dessert pairing. Enjoy straight or on ice with an orange slice.
