2019 Matthews Royal Slope Cabernet Sauvignon
“A brooding expression of cocoa powder and blueberry liqueur is enlivened by notes of fresh garden herbs. Earthy notes of damp forest floor and juicy summer blackberries give this wine an enticing flavor profile. Intensely plum colored with concentrated blue fruits, dark chocolate, and sweet cigar smoke finish. Muscular tannin provides structure while bright acidity from this cooler vintage brings everything into balance.”- Bryan Otis, Proprietor
