A CSB family shares with us the delicious offerings of two smaller estate wineries.

2022 Matthiasson Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:

"Zesty Meyer lemon combines with ripe Golden Delicious apples, yellow peaches, musk melon, and honey to deliver a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with a clean finish and haunting minerality. Moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity are the trademarks of the Linda Vista vineyard, complemented by the perfect amount of luscious creaminess."

2014 Chanticleer Riserva Red Blend

51% Caberenet Sauvignon, 49% Sangiovese

Tasting Notes:
"This wine is an excellent blend of raw power and subtle nuance. Blackberry, violets, gingerbread, baking spice and roasted hazelnuts and wet earth in the nose. On the palate, the blackberry is evident as is a distinctive flourless chocolate cake, espresso bean and fine French oak barrel character. It has all of the seductive beauty and aromatics of fine Sangiovese and the intensity and power of Cabernet. It will age well for over a decade like fine Brunello, but will be accessible immediately with aeration or decanting."
