Its Origins
Matchbook Wine Company is a family-owned winery tucked away in Northern California's gently rolling Dunnigan Hills. The Giguiere family immigrated to Yolo County from Quebec City in the 1850’s in search of open ag ground. John and Karl Giguiere are 5th generation farmers who know the region’s soil, climate and true potential of the land. This knowledge combined with their curiosity and drive to innovate defines their determination to constantly improve the viticulture and winemaking of the region.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"It's gorgeously styled and expressed, showing summer peach, mango, vanillin oak and brioche characters on the nose. The palate displays excellent concentration and depth, wonderfully framed by plush texture and beautifully infused acidity, finishing impressively long and satisfying." Drink 2024 - 2029
93/100 Cameron Douglas MS
"A very engaging bouquet of roasted stone fruits, whipped cream, nut and pomaceous fruits. There’s a distinctive wood scents of smoke and spice, vanilla and nutmeg. Full-bodied with satin-cream texture, richness and persistent flavours of stone fruits, apple and spices that reflect the bouquet. Delicious, fresh and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029."
91/100 Wine Enthusiast, Tonya Pitts
"This wine bursts with baked apple pie, dried apricot and baked pastry crust, woven together with caramel, cardamom, cinnamon, white nectarine, white flowers, white tea, Meyer lemon zest and crème fraîche. Acidity intertwines throughout; the finish is bone dry. Pair with veal saltimbocca or cassoulet."
