Matthew Gibson

Sierra Foothills Cabernet and Primitivo at elevation.

Matthew Gibson draws from the Sierra Foothills, California's rugged wine region known for bold reds and high-elevation intensity. The winery produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Primitivo, both rated 90 points by Wine Enthusiast. Cabernet Sauvignon, the region's signature varietal, expresses the Sierra Foothills' characteristic structure and depth. Primitivo, the southern Italian grape, thrives in the warm, mineral-rich soils of the foothills, yielding rich, spiced wines. Both offerings reflect the terroir's elevation and continental climate—conditions that concentrate flavor and tannin. Matthew Gibson's focus on these two varietals demonstrates a commitment to the region's strengths and the distinct character each grape achieves at altitude.
