RATINGS

...caresses the palate with tangerine oil, sweet spice, marzipan and a kiss of French oak... Floral and tropical overtones lend an exotic flair throughout.

...fresh with apricot, orange blossoms, and a touch of flinty stones. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, with a fantastic long finish and a round texture throughout.

PRODUCER

Matanzas Creek

Matanzas Creek Winery in Sonoma Valley was founded in 1977 by Bill and Sandra MacIver. The 69-acre estate quickly became known for Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, earning excellent reviews for those wines. In 2000 the MacIvers sold the estate to Jess Jackson, owner of Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate and the Artisan & Estates group of boutique wineries. Today the estate makes a wider range of wines. Though still known for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, it also produces Syrah and a premium line of wines under the Journey label.
