The 2018 Cuvée has these wonderful floral notes which I think is from the Cab Franc. But is Merlot forward and it makes it a wine for all occasions.

Cedar, and graphite dominate earthy tones balanced with tapenade, brine, leather and black tea. A beautiful blend of 64% merlot, 21% cab sav, 12% cab franc

Smooth, balanced, Merlot-dominant wine, perfect for everyday drinking.

This is the closest wine to a Pinot Noir under the Matthews brand. Although Merlot-dominant, it still provides the lightness necessary to drink a red on a warmer day. It’s a perfect median between a higher-priced and inexpensive wine at an average of $34. Excellent bottle of wine.

Lovely mix of herbs, berry, and vanilla bean. Bold but smooth, this makes a delightful medium bodied red.

First vintage of this Tuesday spaghetti night wine! Smooth without too much structure. Easily drunk with basically any meal. Medium body, with more warm, red fruits on the palate.

My absolute favorite Matthew’s red at the moment! Juicy, lush candied cherries and ripe plum.
