2021 | Matthews Winery Reserve Claret | Columbia Valley Domaine François Lumpp its acidity makes it uniqueThis 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
