$85.00

In the glass, the 2022 vintage presents a vibrant and intricate profile, seamlessly blending classic Napa refinement with a touch of wild exuberance. This wine is characterized by its fleshy, fruit-forward nature, making it approachable and enjoyable upon release. Its balanced structure and vibrant acidity make it a versatile choice, suitable for both casual gatherings and formal occasions. Priced accessibly, it offers exceptional value, inviting both connoisseurs and newcomers to experience the dedication and passion that define Matthew Wallace Wines.

With a backbone sourced from Wallace Ranch plantings in 1999 and 2018, “The Estate” comprises our favorite blend of barrels from the vintage of Matthew Wallace Wines. Vinified side by side with our single-vineyard bottlings, this wine punches well above its weight-class. Carefully selected by Thomas Brown, taste is focused on expressing symbiotic liveliness and depth of Napa Cabernet, with everyday drinkability. A vertical would create a wine “almanac” of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which tells the story of each dynamic farming season.

The Estate is a complex cross-section of Matt Hardin’s storied vineyard sites. Winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown handpicks some of the best barrels in the cellar, composing a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from various blocks and clones. It shows off his blending artistry while bringing together sources that complement each other perfectly, elevating the entire bottle. The result is a snapshot of each vintage from across the Matthew Wallace vineyard lineup.
