2019 Matthews Royal Slope Claret
"Brilliant garnet in color and exploding with an aromatic bouquet of black raspberry, dried herbs, and fruit leather, this wine expresses notes of black currant, soy, graphite and a hint of menthol. This full-bodied blend is light on its feet with bright acidity and rounded tannins. Toasty brioche and fresh strawberry linger on the long finish." - Bryan Otis, Proprietor
