The 2021 Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark crimson and violet in the glass with fragrant aromatics of bourbon cherry, flinty minerals, red licorice, and iris. The full-bodied mouthfeel and full-throttle palate displays big yet polished tannins and flavors of blackberry compote, sweet oak, and leather. Finishing long and balanced with black raspberry and intriguing papaya.

Awards & Accolades
""The 2021 Matthews Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has just a touch of Merlot blended in. It shows off its very deep hue in the glass, slowly unveiling creosote and garrigue aromatics that parade with concentrated black fruits. The palate is plush and soft with a smooth mouthfeel. Layers of espresso grounds and tar mingle well with blueberry pie, sagebrush and dark chocolate shavings on the palate. Really good now, this will live on for another fifteen years.""
