Red Wines
Matanzas Creek's red wines are approachable, intensely flavorful, and—like our white wines—irresistibly aromatic. Anchored by our signature Merlot, our collection also features Pinot Noir, Malbec, Petite Sirah, and several red blends, including the Journey Red Blend—the pinnacle of our winemaking craft. Each wine is an inviting expression of vivid aromas and flavors, perfect for sharing over dinner, toasting to life’s milestones, or simply unwinding with a glass by the fire.
FAQs
Matanzas Creek primarily produces Merlot and red blends, with smaller quantities of Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Petit Sirah.
Common red wine varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah/Shiraz, Zinfandel, and Malbec.
With their intense fruit flavors and structure-providing tannins, red wines can stand up to red meats, hearty stews, pasta with red sauce, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses.
Red wines are best served between 60-68°F (15-20°C), depending on the variety.
Tannins add structure, complexity, and a drying sensation to red wine. They also contribute to aging potential.
