Matthews 2012 Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington

This wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (78%), with the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Aromas of barrel spice, cedar, green herbs and black fruit are followed by tightly coiled fruit and barrel flavors that need some time to settle in.
