Beautifully balanced with earthy notes, graphite, and lovely baking spices. Drinks gorgeously out of the bottle - can’t wait to see what it’s like in a few years.

2016 So much complexity in this young wine. Can’t wait to see what it tastes like in a few years. Notes of raspberry preserves, cassis and slate. Would love to pair this gorgeous wine with lamb shanks, braised greens and a dark chocolate soufflé

This dynamic full-bodied wine has hints of blackberry and is balanced perfectly. Love this classy wine and will recommend

The 2016 Matthews Reserve Claret is elegance personified. Blackberry and pepper on my nose. It is Cabernet dominant so it is still a little young but eminently drinkable if opened and you let it breath.

Aromatic, inviting, and positively scrumptious. A melange of fruit ready to burst with each sip savored. An indulgence now, yet so worth cellaring.
