Coravin'd a glass. Opens with a buttery nose but it's much more acidic than buttery. Nice fruit notes of Key Lime and peach. Somewhat of a longer orangey finish. I liked it better less chilled. — 5 hours ago

Not going to blow your socks off, but you'll get a bit of melon, and butterscotch and vanilla custard from minimal oak aging. Less citrus and more butter than some Chards. Good value — 14 days ago

Had a 2009 Ratti Barolo. Awesome Barolo with classic finesse and body. Beautifully balanced with licorice notes and violets. Floral nose brings an elegance. The bottle age certainly helps. — a day ago

Great balance of fruit, structure and finesse in this Petite Sirah. Silky tannins give it a nice finish. I like everything Madrigal is producing. Drinking well now. — 8 days ago

Super Cab. All the structure and brilliance you'd want in a Cab. Juicy fruit special and an uber long burst of flavor. — 25 days ago

Not as bright and fruity as most Cabs. A bit smoky and dusty on the palate. Lacks balance. Disappointed in this Madrigal. — 5 days ago

A bit dusty on the tongue after a decant. I think this will open after a longer 1 to 1 1/2 hr decant. Still plenty of inky dark fruit. Spice notes on the finish. — 5 days ago

Cab bomb. Plenty of fruit forward in the palate. Soft enough tannins and not an oak overload to make this a very nice wine. Definitely a super long finish. — 16 days ago

Great nose of strawberry and raspberry. Silky tannins and a long finish. Loved the intensity in this Pinot. I'm a believer. — 25 days ago
