At first glance, “Ashes and Diamonds” only brushes the surface of what the winery truly represents. The story—or journey rather—begins in the autumn of 2013 when Kashy Khaledi (son of winemaker Darioush Khaledi) was a creative media executive at Capitol Records, the “ideal job.” In the midst of a lengthy creative stump, Khaledi would often turn to old films for inspiration. He found one that shifted the course of his life—the 50s Polish film Ashes and Diamonds. A dream started to take shape; Khaledi threw himself into researching the viticulture and enology that shaped California’s wine culture. His quest for joint ventures began; he teamed up with Steve Matthiasson and Diana Snowden, farming vineyards in Napa Valley in the pursuit of balanced wine.

This wine is farmed and made by famed Napa winemaker Diana Snowden. The fruit is sourced from four different parcels in the Oak Knoll district. This wine is an ode to old school Napa where the wines have a true sense of place.

Matthiasson, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2020

Regular price $100.00 Save $-100.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc

Steve Matthiasson is a California pioneer. Daring to break Napa tradition, Steve and his wife Jill have planted rare, ancient Italian grapes though recognize that Napa loves all the well-known international grapes. A Matthiasson tasting experience, laid out on the picnic table that separates their home from the winemaking operation (with their dog and at least one son stopping by!) shows instantly how the couple reveres the place they farm together. This is real California wine and Matthiasson’s wines are where California wine is headed. Steve Matthiasson is a six-time nominee for a James Beard award, a serious achievement in the wine industry. He has also been named “Winemaker of the Year” by both Food & Wine Magazine and The San Francisco Chronicle. Steve and Jill are long time friends and mentors to Hart & Cru.

This bottle is a classic example of how Cabernet Sauvignon blends well with its other Bordeaux variety friends—small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The blend comprises of six vineyards across Napa drawn from Coombsville, Rutherford, and Oak Knoll appellations. This bottle spends 20 months in mixed barrels, 20% of which is new French oak.

Matthiasson, Cabernet Sauvignon Phoenix Vineyard 2019

Matthiasson, Cabernet Sauvignon Phoenix Vineyard 2019

Regular price $150.00 Save $-150.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc

Originally planted in 1982 with old heritage field selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, Matthiasson purchased the plot in 2017. They immediately worked to implement organic farming methods and focused on rejuvenating some of the old vines via composting and pruning. The steep hillside location requires much of the farming to be carried out by hand, but this labor is made worth it by the its exceptional and unusual terroir. Phoenix Vineyard sits on an undisturbed ridge of ancient marine shale soils. The wine is aged for 20 months in 20% new French oak, a few older French oak barrels, two seasoned Demi-muids, and a large foudre.
