Wine Production

Blackboard Red Wine is crafted from two vineyards across two AVAs in Washington State: Royal Slope and Columbia Valley. 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 in French oak. Before each wine is released, it is extensively evaluated and carefully blended by Matthews’ dedicated winemaking team.
