The Pinot Meunier in the organically-farmed Yount Mill Vineyard was originally planted for sparkling wine (as its one of the red varieties in Champagne). Still wine made from Pinot Meunier is rare and can make very earthy wine with a beautiful strawberry note when grown in France, but Steve was curious as to how it would result in Napa. As it turns out, its absolutely delicious, like a Pinot Noir in style, but lighter, still earthy, and also fruity, even more so than the French versions. It also maintains a minerality that we went crazy for. Matthiasson first made the wine in 2015 assuming it would be a one-off, but it was such a hit that they decided to do it again in 2018, 2020, and now again in 2022. The wine was fermented with 50% whole clusters in a small open top tank, with two manual punch downs per day, so it has almost a Beaujolais feel to it. Dont miss it.
