Matthews Cellars
Claret Red Bordeaux Blend
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
More of a medium body and tighter tannins. Still has time to age! Beautiful notes of stewed plum, vanilla and sandalwood. Opens with more earthy notes. Pairs well with roast chicken or pork loin.

This beautiful floral wine tastes Luke orange blossoms mixed with cherries & boysenberries. I love the Bordeaux blend as it finishes with a little caramel.

Jun 12th, 2020Talk about an easy drinking wine that goes with everything! Can also be layed down for a number of years to allow for some additional complexity to shine through. Notes of marionberry, baking spices and carmelized sugar. Never disappoints.

Lovely combination of back and red ripe fruit with dark cherry and hints of chocolate on the nose. Balanced and delicate

Distinctive nose and taste; smoky, unique, and tastes older than the current vintage.

Oct 3rd, 2019The 2016 Claret may be my favorite since the 2012 vintage. It is just bursting with all the flavors the Matthews Claret is known for and has so much much potential. Drink now if you cannot resist; otherwise, laying it down will yield an incredible indulgence years from now.
