Winemaker Notes
The color is deep ruby with a blue hue to the meniscus. Although youthful at present, the nose offers ripe blueberry, coffee and vanillin with intense complexity. On the pallet the wine begins with an intense attack leading to a lush, cassis and mineralized mid-pallet. The finish is lengthy but balanced both by moderately firm tannin and low acidity.

Wine Spectator
Firm in texture, with fine-grained tannins surrounding a nice core of berry and plum flavors shaded by touches of cedar and herb. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot Best after 1999. 1,000 cases made.

Established in 1993, Matthews Winery is located in the heart of the Woodinville Wine Country. The boutique winery is owned by a local family and focuses on maintaining production of Bordeaux-style and single varietal vineyard-designated wines. Matthews uses grapes grown in Washington state from vineyards that have experience and respect for nature and its soil. The winery and winemakers believe that there is a deep and tangible link between the vines, hills, winegrowers and winemakers, and carries this proof of affinity into every aspect of wine making—from the vineyard to the cellar, from the vine to the wine bottle.
