Wine Production
Blackboard Merlot is crafted from Conner Lee vineyard in Washington State. The vines are farmed using sustainable practices and hand-harvested in the early fall mornings. Upon arrival at the winery, each cluster is hand-sorted and destemmed. 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.
