Matthews Merlot Reserve 2021

About the Producer

GROWN IN THE COLUMBIA VALLEY The valley is home to 50,000 acres of vines within 20 distinct AVAs. Contrary to the reputation of the Pacific Northwest, the valley only gets six inches of rainfall a year—as much as the Gobi desert. Our long and consistent growing season produces complex yet vibrant wines with world-class varietals ranging from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc.

AN OLD-WORLD CONNECTION Washington is located at nearly the same latitude as some of the top French wine-growing regions like Bordeaux and Burgundy. For almost 150 years, vines here have thrived, thanks to long, sunny days and cool nights that are kind to growing grapes.
