Limited Addition 'Matrix' Cabernet Rosé 2023
Vintage Character
Limited Addition Matrix Mencia Cab Rosé 2023 comes from Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA, a cool, wind-influenced subregion of the Willamette Valley known for preserving acidity and aromatic lift. The 2023 vintage produced rosés of freshness and precision, with the growing season favoring bright fruit definition and lively natural balance rather than weight, making this an especially appealing, energetic style. Blending with Cabernet Franc is unusual for the region, and that originality is sharpened by the area’s marine-influenced breezes and volcanic-derived hillside terroir, which help give the wine its snap, minerality, and savory edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this dry rosé shows wild strawberry, watermelon, red cherry, and crushed violet, followed by white pepper, wet stone, and a faint saline note. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with high acidity and very low tannin, delivering juicy red-berry fruit, a subtle herbal streak, and a clean, stony finish that feels both refreshing and textural. Its vivid, savory profile makes it a smart match for grilled salmon, prosciutto and melon, or tuna poke, where the wine’s tension and brightness can echo both sweetness and umami.
Winery Background
Limited Addition is the collaborative Oregon project of Bree Stock MW and Chad Stock, two winemakers recognized for championing alternative varieties and progressive viticulture beyond the region’s Pinot Noir comfort zone. Their philosophy centers on thoughtful sourcing from environmentally minded growers, with an emphasis on regenerative farming, native-yeast fermentations, restrained sulfur use, and transparent winemaking that lets site and variety speak clearly. Produced in tiny quantities, Matrix stands out as a modern Oregon rosé that is experimental without being eccentric: precise, distinctive, and rooted in a broader vision for the future of Pacific Northwest wine.
