Blackboard’s pursuit of knowledge fuels their passion for developing sustainable wines. They partner with some of the most celebrated and responsibly-minded vineyards in Washington State, combining their abilities in order to push the boundaries of quality and craftsmanship year after year. The Merlot is crafted with fruit from the Conner Lee vineyard. All fruit is hand-harvested on the early fall mornings before each cluster is hand-sorted and de-stemmed. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on French oak. Before each wine is released, it is extensively evaluated and carefully blended by Matthews’ dedicated winemaking team.
Plums, crushed herbs, and wet stone. Medium-bodied with soft tannins, it is pleasantly juicy with rich red fruits and dark chocolate on the palate.
