About the wine
Napa Chardonnay from this exact vineyard block sells for $40+
- This amazing vineyard is grown in granite soils at 1800 feet above sea level where it's 6-7 degrees cooler than the valley floor so the grapes ripen slowly and maintain that crisp brightness and a great focus on fruit.
- You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to make great Napa Chard. If you work with a vineyard like this at a high elevation, and with 25th generation grape growers like the Antinoris, you can create a really unique wine without all the expensive stuff that makes richer, oilier Chards.
- You want a good white wine from Napa to impress your friends who only drink white – this is it.

- This rocket scientist was studying to be an astronaut before he decided wine was even cooler than space. So he dropped aeronautics and picked up a degree in winemaking from UC Davis.
- And he dropped conventional distribution just as quickly! When he saw the power of Angel funding, he immediately signed up, eager to create better wines at better prices.
- Angel funding allows this hugely talented and driven individual to apply all his attention to making the best wine possible. Whether he’s keeping it classic with big, bold Cabernet or putting a fresh, vibrant spin on traditional whites, you freed Matt to make show-stopping wines for an incredibly delicious price.
