“The 2017 Merlot Reserve from Matthews checks in as 94% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc, all aged 22 months in 94% new French oak. Deep ruby/purple-colored, with medium to full-bodied notes of spring flowers, raspberries, candied orange, and spice, it's elegant, balanced, and has a light, juicy, already delicious style. It should evolve gracefully for 10-12 years or more.”

"Scheduled to be bottled by the time you read this review, the 2017 Cabernet Franc Reserve is based on 85% Cabernet Franc, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot. Deep purple/ruby-colored, with classy Cabernet Franc notes of red and black fruits, lead pencil, exotic flowers, and forest floor. This spicy, complex, seamless 2017 has terrific balance, medium to full body, and a great finish.”

"Notes of black currants, red fruit, plum skin, graphite, and sweet baking spices.  Swirling adds aromatics of bloomed spices, fresh plum puree, and dried herbs.  The palate offers layered spice, black fruits, and a lifted floral note.  Polished and strucured with fine, accessible tannins, this wine showcases Washington State's remarkable ability to develop Bordeaux varietals." - Bryan Otis, Proprietor
