Matthews Winery Cuvee 2021

The 2021 Columbia Valley Cuvée sparkles with purple and deep garnet in the glass. Meadow flowers, fresh red berry, black plum, and cocoa powder aromas exhilarate leading to flavors of morello cherry liqueur, cardamom, mountain blackberry, and licorice snaps. This Merlot-dominant blend is plush and weighty on the palate with powdery tannins. Dark stone fruits and dusty minerality coat the palate for a long, seamless finish. The wine was cellared for 19 months in new French oak (40%) and used French oak (60%).

65% Merlot, 27% Cab Franc, 8% Malbec
