“The 2022 Matthews Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc is yellow jasmine in color with flecks of green. Intense aromatics of starfruit, lemony sorrel leaf, juicy green pear and mandarin orange open to honeysuckle and linden flower. Followed by flavors of lemon curd, oyster shell, candied orange peel and flint, this medium bodied, balanced wine has refreshing acidity. It finishes long with briney and stoney flavors that are taught and textural. Not since 2017 have we been this enamored with our Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc. We are thrilled with the wine, and eager to share it.” -Alex Stewart, Winemaker

 “Aromas of pear, peach and fresh pineapple. Medium-bodied with fresh, stony-mineral character. Bright. Stone fruit and tropical fruit drive the palate, with herbal and peppery complexity. Nicely composed and long. Drink now.” -91 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

"The 2021 Columbia Valley Claret is an inky deep garnet in the glass with a rich magenta rim. Powerful aromas of juicy black raspberry, fresh fig, ginger spice, and cigar wrapper lead to decadent flavors of bourbon cherries, violets, blackberry pie, and allspice. The full-bodied mouthfeel is unctuous with broad velvety tannins. Graphite and ripe berry reduction remain on the dense, textural, and persistent finish." -Alex Stewart, Winemaker

“This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (35%), Merlot (34%) and Cabernet Franc (27%), along with bits of Petit Verdot and Malbec. With fruit coming from Horse Heaven Hills, White Bluffs, Wahluke Slope and Royal Slope, appealing aromas of green pepper, herb and fresh black fruit lead to ripe, polished, pure, decadent black-fruit flavors. It shows a lot of intensity and richness. Chocolate notes linger on the very long finish. It’s flat-out delicious and an outrageous value to boot.”  -93 points, Sean Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast

"The 2021 Columbia Valley Cuvee sparkles with purple and deep garnet in the glass. Meadow flowers, fresh red berry, black plum, and cocoa powder aromas exhilarate leading to flavors of morello cherry liqueur, cardamom, mountain blackberry, and licorice snaps. This merlot-dominant blend is plush and weighty on the palate with powdery tannins. Dark stone fruits and dusty minerality coat the palate for a long, seamless finish." -Alex Stewart, Winemaker

"Deep purple in color, the 2020 Cuvee by Matthews is a killer wine and a great value. Coming in at 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot, the last three components play a bigger role than their composition suggests. Aromas of cherry and oak are present and are followed by an elegant mouthfeel comprised of fine, velvety and settled tannins. Black cherry, blueberry, smokey bramble and mildly bittersweet cocoa all play nicely together in a balanced manner. The softness of the Merlot allows for an elegant and mouth coating finish. This may need a year or two of cellaring to show its best stuff but should smoothly sail for 15 years after that. This wine punches way above its weight, you don’t want to miss it." -94 Points, Rob Geresi, International Wine Report

"The 2021 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is deep ruby in the glass with purple hues. The rich bouquet of spiced black plum and cocoa nib are balanced with aromas of fresh earth and crushed flint. Intense and opulent flavors of ripe blackberry, cedar, mocha, and black currant coat the broad and balanced palate and the ripe tannin creates a perfect frame for the lush fruit expression. Cherry cordial and cola linger on the long, quenching finish." -Alex Stewart, Winemaker
