Madrona Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Only 250 cases of this rare beast bottles were made and this is the first I've ever tasted; it will not be my last. The 2007 has a long life ahead of it but I do believe collectors will enjoy it at this moment; the reputation dictates a decade before opening and I gave it that +2 hours in a decanter and I'm very happy to have discovered this now...I will be looking for more. Some wines from the Napa Valley try to be too pretty and this wine is a monster that has been kissed by time and evolved into a very distinguished representative. The tannins are now approachable but there is a very unique and definitive structure here. a great wine to collect and a relative value inside of collectible Napa Valley Cabernet. This was my favorite of three fantastic cult cabs tasted blind at Gwen restaurant "best bottle" dinner hosted by wine LA on 2.8.17

Needs time

My favorite wine of the day. it showed better today than the '02 Madrona and '09 Dana Estate Lotus

Damnnnn!!! Beauty, balance, purity and terroir. Proof that great Napa cab based wine doesn't have to be BIG. Brilliant.

Double decanted for 8 hours prior to drinking. Absolutely stunning! Blew us away.

wow. fantastic now. still with a lot of fruit.

Ultra rich. Fruit was a tiny bit stewed

Garnet red rum, sage and earth notes on the nose. Medium tannins with smoke and leather finish.

Hi Carmine!

Incredibly chalky intense.....way too early, but amazing wine....can't wait to drink this in 10 years
