2019 Matthews Reserve Cabernet Franc
"The 2019 Matthews Reserve Cabernet Franc shows medium to deep purple in hue with aromas of cassis and syrupy blueberry that evolve into herbal scents of sweet peas, chamomile-mint tea and camphor. This wine shows a classic Cabernet Franc flavor profile that mingles green flavors of snap peas, oolong tea and sage with dark fruits, mocha and cardamon. Medium bodied with robust tannins and balanced acidity, this intensely expressive wine lingers on the mid-palate with black forest cake richness." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor
