2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Father Mathew Family Collection: A Vineyard's Sacred Heart

Savor the profound elegance of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Father Mathew Family Collection, sourced from the hallowed vineyard at St. Joan of Arc Church in Yountville. This limited-production wine reflects the care and dedication of Father Mathew, who personally nurtured the vineyard, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and character.

Tasting Profile:
The 2018 vintage showcases a beautifully balanced structure, with layers of dark fruit including blackberry, black currant, and ripe plum. Hints of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of savory herbs add complexity, while fine-grained tannins provide a smooth, elegant finish. The nuanced oak influence enhances the wine's depth without overpowering the fruit, creating a harmonious and memorable experience.

Pairing Suggestions:
This robust Cabernet pairs perfectly with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, or a hearty mushroom risotto. It also complements aged cheeses, such as Gouda or sharp cheddar, making it a versatile choice for any dinner table.

With fewer than 200 cases produced, the 2018 Father Mathew Family Collection is a rare and treasured wine. We value this vineyard so deeply that we’ve adopted Clone 169 for our Estate Vineyard at the Meritage Resort, ensuring the legacy of this exceptional site continues to thrive.
