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.

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

The Cuvée has a much stronger nose than the Claret and is much more berry like. A bit tight right now, feel that it will open up with time. Great wine for the price point.

Love this right-bank, Merlot-forward Bordeaux blend. Great red fruits, graphite, and baking spices, just the right amounts of oak and tannins. Unique and surprising; an excellent companion blend to Matthew's claret.

Delicious Merlot blend. Drinkable now, but I suggest keeping it in the cellar for a year or 2!
