"Reviewed last year as the Tenor Wines 1:1, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon was moved to the Mathews line to maintain Tenor’s single varietal mission. Don’t let any of that stop you from checking out this fabulous wine though. Made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Merlot that spent 21 months in 85% French oak, its healthy ruby/purple color is followed by an incredibly polished, silky, seamless Cabernet that has lots of crème de cassis, sweet oak, crushed flower, and graphite aromas and flavors. Made in a relatively forward, elegant and charming style, it still has the density, balance and tannin to drink well for 10-15 years."

94 points, Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate

"Bright ruby-red. Inviting aromas of cassis, redcurrant and dark chocolate. Sweet, savory and densely packed, with its intense dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and violet nuances. Conveys an impression of energy that belies its 3.89 pH. Finishes suave and long, with gentle tannins. Winemaker Aryn Morell told me that this wine was sterile-filtered through the gentlest micro flex filter available on the market, and the only one of its kind in the Northwest."
