We just found this little jewel from Washington, only 200 cases made! Since 1993 this beautiful estate has been dedicated to crafting superior wines of structure and elegance, preserving the typical characteristics of Washington state grapes.

Only the best barrels of each vintage are selected to make the Reserve, a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend that promises to age gracefully.

2011 Matthews Estate Reserve $420 6pack
Columbia Valley, Washington State
94 Points Wine Advocate

“Even more impressive, with smoking raspberry, blackberry, spring flowers, toast and hints of licorice, the 2011 Reserve is medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated (especially in the vintage), layered and elegant, with fabulous purity and freshness. It too has ultra-fine tannin and impressive length on the finish. Made from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Malbec and 6% Cabernet Franc that spent 19 months in 100% new French oak, it will shine through 2025.”

Very Happy to Offer
2011 Opus One Napa Valley $250 bottle / $1500 6pack
original wood 6-bottle-cases
94 Points Antonio Galloni “The 2011 Opus One comes across as quite powerful and intense. Raspberry jam, rose petals, savory herbs and mint, all come together beautifully in the glass. The tannins are going to need a few years to soften, but the 2011 continues to develop very nicely in bottle.”
