Simply Wine!

Matthews wines are probably the greatest wines out of Washington that most of you have never heard of! I was introduced to them when I sold wine back in Michigan. We always sold out our allocation of Matt Loso wines within a few days!

You will typically not find a Matthews wine under $40. The exception being his Claret which I think we found for $34.

We ran Across his Sauv Blanc in a MArket of Choice Store in Eugene Oregon; Price $13.99!

I found this review of the wine on the internet. It is spot on, not only about the Sauv Blanc but of Matthews and Matt's work as a winemaker!

Enjoy it if you can find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Appellation: Red Mountain

Simply put, Matt Loso is one of Washington's great winemakers. His focus on Bordeaux-style wines results in reds and whites of grace, power and depth. World-class wine starts in the vineyard, and Loso uses grapes from famed Klipsun Vineyard for this suave Sauvignon Blanc. It's a delight to the palate with aromas of gooseberries and essences of peaches and pears and hints of lemons. The mouth feel is perfect from first sip through the lengthy finish. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest.

Price: $20. Track this down at wine shops.

Food matches: Perfect with shellfish, grilled halibut, pasta in a cream sauce or pork.
