2022 Matthew Wallace - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Estate
Matt Hardin has managed some of Napa’s most iconic vineyards. Thomas Rivers Brown has crafted some of Napa’s most celebrated and scored wines. They’re each at the absolute top of their game, and in fifteen years working together, they’ve teamed up on projects like Maybach, Outpost, Pulido-Walker, Casa Piena, and Caterwaul.
There’s the Napa Valley you know, then there’s Section 15. Hidden in rolling hills, surrounded by ancient oak trees, it’s a secluded grape-growing paradise. You won’t hear the bustle of Highway 29 here—just birds warbling, insects flitting, and wind sweeping the tall grasses as temperatures drop with the setting sun. It’s pure, peaceful, and bursting with exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.
No one knows this site like grower Matt Hardin. He was born and raised here, so he’s had his hands in the alluvial and colluvial soils since he was a kid. So he knows exactly how the Clone 7 Cabernet develops a stunning depth of flavor in the Pope Valley’s sweltering afternoons, and acidic structure during cool nights. At once vibrant and intricate, this wine pairs classic Napa refinement with a touch of wild exuberance.
