2019 Matthews Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

"Primary aromas of dried strawberry, black currants and dark cherries are followed by secondary aromas of baking spices and a touch of vanilla. Swirling reveals aromas and flavors of dark black and blue fruits, ripe figs and a touch of star anise and caramel. The palate is well structured and balanced, with silky tannins with a long and dark blackberry finish. Ageable to 2033 and beyond, but quite drinkable in its youth." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor

Praise:

“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. Dense purple, it offers a solid array of chocolaty dark fruits, smoky oak, graphite, and chalky minerality. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it's balanced, has beautiful tannins, and a great finish. Give it a solid 4-5 years if you can and enjoy over the following two decades.” –94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
