"Deep Ruby in color, initial aromas of mocha, ripe blueberry, and bramble evolve into charcoal, dried fruits, and red huckleberry with time in the glass. The broad palate offers a fresh acidity and polished tannin. Sweet baking spice, red plum, and a dusty minerality linger on the finish." - Bryan Otis, Proprietor

“The 2020 ‘Royal Slope Cuvée’ is a beautiful blend of 64% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc and smaller parts Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fresh mint, black currants, cigar box and dark chocolate shavings all fill the nose. The palate is very juicy and bright, with good underlying finesse. Finishing long with black fruits and minerals, savor this great Merlot dominant blend now and over the next decade. Drink 2022-2032.” -93 points, Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com

“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

"The 2021 Matthews Reserve Sauvignon Blanc has the straw yellow color of a Linden blossom. This unfiltered wine shows its raw purity in the form of some slight turbidity.  Wet stone and chalky aromatics combine with more floral and fruity intensity of white nectarine, Asian pear, bergamot, and cut spring flowers. The generous mouthfeel delivers a palate of orange liqueur, tea spice, flower nectar, and the visceral chalky texture of an oyster shell.  The balanced acidity and breadth of the wine are rounded out with subtle oak, orange cream, and a long, spicy finish." -Alex Stewart, Winemaker

"This has aromas of chopped apples, fresh pears, lemons, salted almonds and a hint of nutmeg. It’s creamy and textured, with a medium body and tangy acidity. I like the saline and spice undertones. Drink now or hold." -91 points, James Suckling, jamesuckling.com

"Dark ruby to mahogany in color, the 2020 Matthews Reserve Cuvée elicits aromas of sarsaparilla cedar and blackberry bramble.

The finish is pleasurable with palate-coating tannins and delicious blueberry filled scone." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor

On the palate, black currant and cherry flavors mingle with hints of wet tobacco leaf and chocolate. The wine has a pleasing salinity and structured tannins with a medium-plus bodied mouthfeel.

"The 2019 Reserve Claret is Cabernet Sauvignon-heavy and includes 9% each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with 2% Petit Verdot. Bordeaux-like notes of currants, cassis, scorched earth, lead pencil, and chocolate define the bouquet, and it's focused, straight, and concentrated on the palate, with gorgeous tannins as well as a balanced, layered style that's going to age gracefully." - 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com

The mouthfeel has voluminous weight with building tannin. The finish is long with notes of cola spice, dark fruits, and cocoa powder." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor

“The 2020 Merlot Reserve (89% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and 5% Cabernet Franc) offers more black cherry, leather, dried herb, and chocolate notions in a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, tannic style that softens slightly with air. (I followed these bottles for multiple days.) With good purity of fruit as well as a balanced, layered mouthfeel, it's another wine from this team that needs to be hidden in the cellar for 2-4 years.” -90 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com

"Primary aromas of dried strawberry, black currants and dark cherries are followed by secondary aromas of baking spices and a touch of vanilla. Swirling reveals aromas and flavors of dark black and blue fruits, ripe figs and a touch of star anise and caramel. The palate is well structured and balanced, with silky tannins with a long and dark blackberry finish. Ageable to 2033 and beyond, but quite drinkable in its youth." -Bryan Otis, Proprietor

“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. Dense purple, it offers a solid array of chocolaty dark fruits, smoky oak, graphite, and chalky minerality. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it's balanced, has beautiful tannins, and a great finish. Give it a solid 4-5 years if you can and enjoy over the following two decades.” –94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com

"The 2020 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is vibrant purple in the glass with a ruby-colored rim.

“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve showed beautifully, with lots of up-front charm and character. Ripe black cherry, graphite, tobacco, and dried herbs give way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, balanced wine with supple tannins and outstanding length. It's drinking nicely today yet should easily evolve for 15-20 years in cold cellars.” -94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
