2020 Matchbook 'Red Gravel' Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Dunnigan Hills

Winemaker Notes: The 2020 Matchbook Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown on the red gravel soils in the winery's Dunnigan Hills vineyard. The wine opens with classic Cabernet aromas of chocolate, tobacco, violets and leather. Plush flavors of blackberry, black cherry and mocha are backed with sweet oak and vanilla. The juicy texture is mouth filling and mingles with the fine, dusty tannins in the finish.

This full-bodied Cabernet has the substance to pair with the big flavors of a sizzling New York steak and is priced to open for a combo pizza.

Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, 2% Petite Sirah

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This potent and rather compact wine shows excellent concentration and a quiet strength that comes out with time in the glass, as velvety tannins wrap around blueberries, dark chocolate and tobacco notes. A bit tight in texture, this wine should drink best from 2024–2030."


Wilfred Wong - "The Matchbook Red Gravel Cabernet Sauvignon offers excellent elevation and textures on the palate. This wine displays aromas and flavors of black fruit, dried leaves, and oak. Serve it with grilled beef."
