Abreu Vineyards
Madrona Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
What a beauty, but quite tight. Some time needed for it to open up. Intense and really fresh too.

Jun 6th, 2017Absolutely stunning. The fourth bottle of the 2012 I have tasted within the last few weeks. Clearly needs years to be at its best. Terrific expression of this site. 98+

Jun 6th, 2017...the 2012 Madrona Ranch is a real stunner. Bright, nuanced and lively, the 2012 exudes freshness. Blood orange, sweet red berries, mint, cinnamon and a host of bright notes grace the palate. Exquisite, subtle and beautifully nuanced, the 2012 has everything going on...

Vertical of Madrona Ranch 1991-2012 | A clear stylistic shift starting after 2000 towards high pH, heavy extraction, extreme ripeness, and oak.
