Cool and moderate, 2018 refused to deliver the scorching heat that often characterizes Napa summers—no heatwaves, no dramatic weather swings, just the kind of measured, even ripening that allows Cabernet Franc’s finest qualities to emerge without forced ripeness. Matthiasson’s Phoenix Vineyard, planted to old vines carefully selected and tended, responded with wines of remarkable vibrance and energy. This eight-year-old expression shows exactly why measured growing conditions suit this varietal: the medium body avoids heaviness, the ripe tannins achieve texture without toughness, and the moderate sugar levels preserve the freshness that makes Franc such a compelling food wine. The cool year’s gift is clarity—you can taste the old vines’ mineral depth, the clonal selection’s herbal nuance, and the terroir’s influence more clearly than in hotter vintages. Matthiasson’s minimal-intervention winemaking simply gets out of the way, allowing the vintage’s natural balance and the vineyard’s old-vine complexity to speak.
