The Story
light. A Cab for drinking at the table, not looking at in the cellar. And a Napa Cab that doesn’t break the
bank. A “Village” Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. A bright lively wine with lots of flavor that is great
with food. We blended a “table Cab” from delicious lots of our wine that didn’t quite make it into our
Matthiasson Cabernet blend but that taste great together as a “Village” wine.
The 2022 Village Cab is a blend of wines from multiple vineyards throughout Napa Valley, from Calistoga
down to Carneros, all of which were organically farmed.
As with all of our Cabernet Sauvignon, the fruit was hand harvested in small lots and fermented with native
yeast. It was punched down or pumped over only twice per day; we don’t strive for a high rate of
extraction, instead choosing to preserve the freshness and high-toned aromatics. The wine was aged for
20 months in mostly used barrels with a few new barrels included for spice — it is a Napa Valley Cabernet
after all.
The nose shows abundant red fruits, lots of bright cherry along with bramble-berries, such as blackberry,
cranberry, mulberry, and framed with hints of mineral/herbal characters such as graphite, cedar, and
pencil shavings. The palate is vibrant and fresh, with medium tannin and beautiful acidity. This wine will
age beautifully but is ready to drink right away — it will always appreciate a little time in a decanter,
carafe, or pitcher — whatever gets the job done for this Village Cab.
