Matthews Cabernet Sauvignon

Matthews Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the rich tapestry of Washington State's terroirs. Crafted from select vineyard parcels across the Columbia Valley, including esteemed sites in Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, and Royal Slope AVA’s, notably the Conner Lee vineyard, this wine embodies the essence of the region. Under the stewardship of a new winemaking team, vineyard practices were refined to reduce yields by 30%, yielding small, concentrated berries. Harvested meticulously by hand over a period of weeks, the grapes undergo a meticulous process upon arrival at the winery, including hand-sorting and cold soaking. Following a 14-day fermentation and extended maceration, the wine is aged for 19 months in a blend of new and used French oak, resulting in a bold yet elegantly integrated Cabernet Sauvignon with a complex flavor profile and refined tannins.
