92 Points from Wine Enthusiast! Matchbook 2018 The Herdsman MAL Giguiere Estate Malbec (Dunnigan Hills). This Malbec is filled with plump black and blue fruits, with an elevated acidity that keeps this fuller red wine fairly light on its feet. Integration of oak elevates fruit components without overwhelming; tannins are a calm medium, just gently creating a backbone down the center of the tongue. Flavors of blackberry jam, boysenberry, blueberry, black plum, cacao, anise, nutmeg, fresh violets and damp forest floor. —S.B.
The Herdsman is a blend of the heritage Cabernet clones grown in our Matchbook vineyards. This is a big Cab with an incredibly smooth finish and layers of flavors that travel from oak to fruit to spicy peppercorn.
90 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine leads with immediate floral-perfume aromas, moving on toward notes of blackberry, black cherry, crushed violets and purple orchids, cocoa, vanilla, nutmeg and a hint of fresh leather. As it opens, the elevated tannic structure softens and the voluptuousness of the fruits really shines through."
This is the Matchbook "Left of Center" twist on a Bordeaux blend: 51% Petit Verdot, 24% Malbec and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon.
This full-bodied blend delivers big flavors of black cherry, chocolate, cranberry and black pepper; barrel aging heightens the sweet plum and mocha notes.
Everything you expect in a fine Cabernet Sauvignon at the unexpected everyday price. Saddle leather and cigar box; blackberry and mocha; toasty oak and vanilla. It's all here!
Beautiful aromas of caramel, chocolate and toasty oak. Complex flavors of blueberry, bright raspberry and vanilla layered over the the anise and red apple notes.
There is really nothing petite about this Petite Sirah! Dense, rich and luscious with a hint of sweet fruit to liven things up.
93 Points from Wine Enthusiast: "It oozes deep flavors of dark chocolate, black pepper and blackberry. It's a great value for those who appreciate Petite Sirah." EDITORS' CHOICE
