Like Quilceda Creek’s early days, Matthews Winery is the new shiny car in the lot. Established in the mid-90’s the brand has long been considered one of the state’s best wine producers but in the last half decade, they’ve been on an absolute tear, making some of the great Bordeaux Blends in the States. But unlike some of their neighbors, Matthews’ wines touch all price points and include a number of different varietals, giving superstar winemakers, Jesse Schmidt, Hal Iverson and Alex Stewart a “playground” full of possibilities and the autonomy to create incredibly unique wines in the stylistic approach of their choosing.
Hal Iverson said he believes Matthews “will have a tremendous influence on the future of Washington wine.” Schmidt added that “The potential for Matthews is limitless”. With exciting wines at incredible prices like today’s red blend and three superstar winemakers with free reign on artistic design– there’s no wonder why the future is so darn bright at Matthews Winery.

WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
93 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
