it is ripe and warm in aroma

Chocolate and caramel flavours linger on a long and delicious finish

It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture

and a smoky and floral character

2021 | Matthews Winery Reserve Claret | Columbia Valley Chateau La Lagune it is ripe and warmThis is a claret that would make Rumpole of the Bailey weak in the knees. It starts with ripe black fruit aromas and bursts of dark chocolate, bitter pine and wet pavement. Blackberries and English breakfast tea flavors are big and round in the mouth, with mouthdrying tannins and a bit of orange zest on the wine's lengthy finish. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
