Matthews Cabernet Sauvignon is a Washington-born nod to the classic Left Bank blends of Bordeaux and Medoc. An incredibly selective blending process allows us to produce a wine that is structured, but remarkably balanced. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the way, with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Merlot rounding out the blend and smoothing any rough edges. Beautiful, explo- sive aromatics announce the wine before you even pour it, and that opulence is replicated in the dense, vibrant mouthfeel. Bordeaux-style blends are famously terroir driven, and ours is no exception. Cabernet loves to grow in Washington, where our arid climate, large temperature swings and long growing seasons give us the powerfully ripe fruit you’d expect from California, with more balance, complexity and freshness you’d expect from a French blend. Matthews Cabernet, in particular, is character- ized by its intense spice, silky texture and excellent transitions. “Fresh crushed flowers, sappy nuances, and baked berry-biscuit aromas, leading to a palate that has a lithe and succulent texture with plenty of sustained berry flavor.” -91 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com Columbia Valley AVA Stillwater Creek Vineyard, Dionysus Vineyard, Bacchus Vineyard Red Mountain AVA Canyons Vineyard, Hedges Vineyard, Angela’s Vineyard Walla Walla Valley AVA Blue Mountain Vineyard S N E W Spokane COLUMBIA VALLEY LAKE CHELAN P A C I F I C O C E A N ANCIENT LAKES NACHES HEIGHTS RATTLESNAKE HILLS YAKIMA VALLEY WAHLUKE SLOPE WALLA WALLA VALLEY LEWIS-CLARK VALLEY RED MOUNTAIN SNIPES MOUNTAIN HORSE HEAVEN HILLS C A N A D A O R E G O N I D A H O C A S C A D E S O L Y M P I C S COLUMBIA GORGE Wenatchee Pullman Walla Walla Tri-Cities Bellingham Port Angeles Woodinville Seattle Olympia Vancouver Portland Yakima Prosser �� �� �, �� �� �, �� �. �6 Cabernet Sauvignon AVA Columbia Valley Case Production 257 Varietal Breakdown 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot Fermentation 72% concrete, 28% stainless steel Aging 60% new French oak for 21 months Drinkability Now - 2029 Alcohol 14.4% Retail $44 1 2 3 1 2 3

Matthews Cabernet Sauvignon is a Washington-born nod to the

classic Left Bank blends of Bordeaux and Medoc. An incredibly

selective blending process allows us to produce a wine that is

structured, but remarkably balanced. Cabernet Sauvignon leads

the way, with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Merlot rounding

out the blend and smoothing any rough edges. Beautiful, explo-

sive aromatics announce the wine before you even pour it, and

that opulence is replicated in the dense, vibrant mouthfeel.

Bordeaux-style blends are famously terroir driven, and ours is

no exception. Cabernet loves to grow in Washington, where our

arid climate, large temperature swings and long growing seasons

give us the powerfully ripe fruit you’d expect from California,

with more balance, complexity and freshness you’d expect from

a French blend. Matthews Cabernet, in particular, is character-

ized by its intense spice, silky texture and excellent transitions.

“Fresh crushed flowers, sappy nuances, and baked berry-biscuit aromas,

leading to a palate that has a lithe and succulent texture with plenty

of sustained berry flavor.”
