Basically 50/50 cab/merlot, medium body, bright and slightly sweet, perfect for summer bbq cookouts

Love this wine ! Rich, dark, complex, full of fruit and easy to drink. Prefer 2018 over 2017, but really enjoy both. Another great blend from Matthews winery

What a great year for Blackboard! It’s a wonderful blend of Washington grown grapes. Produced in a Bordeaux style blend, this wine is a smooth, yet complex everyday drinking wine.

Inviting nose of raspberries with a hint of blueberries. Delivers on the palette. Medium-bodied, satisfying mid-week wine with a healthy bowl of red sauce pasta.

Had both the 2016 and 2017 Black Board the other time. I really liked both but thought that the 2017 delivered more of that dark fruit flavor and chocolate. I am definitely a big fan of this wine and will get more of the ‘17.

The least expensive Mathews I believe. It's a2014 and worth $18! Tastes like a blend with decent flavor. A good table wine.
