Welcome.
Match Vineyards is a small, family-owned winery making Cabernet Sauvignon from our own two hillside vineyards in the Napa Valley. Our wines possess a lovely elegance and finesse that we are sure will ultimately place them among the best that the Napa Valley has to offer.
Current Release
2006 Match Baconbrook Cabernet Sauvignon
2006 was a long, mild growing season that allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, adding layers of complexity to the big fruit we all love in Napa Cabernet. Our 2006 Match Baconbrook Cabernet Sauvignon is true to its Spring Mountain District heritage. Big, round cassis and cherry flavors with molasses, licorice, and black tea notes are supported by chewy, sweet tannins. Opening now requires a long and vigorous decant but for those with the patience to wait – whoa baby – this is going to be good one. Each year we are more and more enamored with this vineyard. Baconbrook’s vines have come in to their own and they are pulling some awesome flavors from the bountiful Napa sun and the thin soil of this tiny ridge top vineyard. The one downside to the 2006 vintage: it was not a big harvest. We only have 190 cases of 2006 Baconbrook.
Repeat Customer Program
As we’ve grown in popularity, many have asked how we handle allocations. We appreciate loyalty from our repeat customers and want to give them the best selection at the best price. At the same time, we want to give new mailing list members the chance to try our wines. We think we’ve come up with a fair solution. We send our mailers out in waves, starting off with customers who purchased from us during the previous year. They will have the first opportunity to purchase the new release. They may also take advantage of a special discount based on their past purchases: 10% plus 1% more for every hundred dollars they spent with us during the previous year (up to a maximum of 20%). Customers who purchased from a release but then chose to skip a year will still receive a 10% discount to welcome them back. Skipping two years will return a customer to retail pricing and a regular spot on the mailing list. Providing we still have wine available after offering to our most recent customers, we will offer wine to regular mailing list members. Please remember that while any discount offered to customers is good throughout the year, we do not guarantee the availability of wine so we encourage everyone to act as quickly as possible. Repeat customers can use the regular order form to order wine and their discount will be applied when their order is processed.
Referral Program
We want to thank those of you who help spread the word about our wines. If you are a customer and recommend our wines to a new customer (or even a mailing list member who has never purchased), you will receive a very special gift. All the new customer needs to do is put your name in the comments section of their order form.
Would you like to visit us? Unfortunately, without a public tasting room or staff, we're not able to host many tastings, but we do love to meet up with mailing list members. Tastings are conducted on Tuesdays throughout the year with an advance appointment.
