The Matthews Claret from Columbia Valley in the 2021 vintage offers a beautifully balanced expression of the region's unique terroir. Crafted from a blend of traditional Bordeaux varietals, this wine showcases ripe dark fruits intertwined with notes of leather and subtle earthiness, reflecting the warm days and cool nights characteristic of this diverse climate. On the palate, its velvety texture is complemented by well-integrated tannins, making it an excellent companion to rich dishes such as braised lamb or a hearty mushroom risotto. This Claret not only highlights the ingenuity of Washington winemakers but also serves as a testament to the exceptional quality of Columbia Valley wines. Enjoy it now or cellar for a few years to experience its evolution. It offers a balanced profile that suits casual sipping or the dinner table. Gentle spice and a clear mineral thread keep the finish lively and clean. Thoughtful winemaking highlights fruit purity while preserving fresh acidity.
