2003 Abreu Madrona Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Note:

The 2003 Madrona Ranch which is largely Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a freshness that almost belies the vintage character. Its dense purple color is just beginning to reveal some garnet. The nose exhibits abundant floral notes intermixed with notions of blueberries black raspberries and licorice-infused cassis. Graceful elegant and close to full maturity it is drinking beautifully displaying secondary nuances a supple full-bodied texture and a lush layered mouthfeel. There is not a bit of aggressiveness and the tannins wood and alcohol (14.5%) are all beautifully integrated. As one might expect this is one of the vintage_s superstars. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Source: Wine Advocate
