MATTHEWS CABERNET SAUVIGNON

$38.99

Beautiful aromas of black currants, cassis, plum jam, and toasty vanilla are followed by warm baking spices and strawberry purée with the introduction of air to the glass. The palate is dark and fleshy, with plush red fruits and a hint of vanilla bean. Vibrant mouthfeel with firm tannin structure, yet the wine maintains an elegant and nuanced profile. This is an example of how Washington State can make truly wonderful Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Inviting aromas of blackcurrants, fresh herbs and blackberries. Full-bodied with nice focus and persistence. Silky tannins carry well-ripened black fruit with notes of chocolate and walnut as well. Well structured and long. 75% cabernet sauvignon, 13% cabernet franc, 11% merlot and 1% malbec. Best after 2024.”

93, Editors’ Choice, Wine Enthusiast

Sometimes it’s about the velvet glove and sometimes it’s just the enjoyment of the hammer. Three-quarters varietal, with the rest Cabernet Franc (13%), Merlot (11%) and Malbec, aromas of black fruit, bittersweet chocolate and baking spice lead to rich, full-feeling flavors that show depth, intensity and layering. It’s bold but well balanced, with a lingering finish.
