Expect full-bodied wines with rich, dark fruit character from Washington's Matthews brand. Their blend includes Cabernet Sauvignon, a dominant grape variety known for its firm tannins and robustness; Cabernet Franc, offering more aromatic notes and lighter body compared to Cabernet Sauvignon; Malbec, deeply pigmented and full of plummy flavors with growing U.S. interest; Petit Verdot, traditionally used for structure but increasingly as a single-varietal wine; and Merlot, known for its approachable texture and moderate acidity in California and Washington. Each varietal contributes to a dessert or cooking wine that offers complexity and depth.
