The 2024 Matinee opens with Meyer lemon, ripe pear, golden apple, and white peach layered with white flowers, toasted hazelnut, and a subtle breath of ocean air. A gentle salinity keeps the aromatics lifted and precise. On the palate, it carries medium weight with a creamy, polished texture, offering lemon zest, lemon curd, and orchard fruit wrapped in a clean mineral thread. The finish is long and refreshing, with clarity and lift. Crafted from a blend of top coastal vineyards, this wine overdelivers with a sophisticated yet honest feel - pure pleasure. - Paul Lato
