critic reviews
Abreu's 2017 Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red features gentle tobacco nuances and dark, loamy notes to go along with its massively concentrated cassis and black cherry fruit. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in feel, it finishes long and savory, with a ripe wash of soft, dusty tannins.
The 2017 Madrona Ranch is such a gorgeous wine. Bright and energetic, the 2017 possesses wonderful vibrancy that gives it striking energy. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that open effortlessly. The purity of the 2017 is unreal. Readers will find a wine that deftly balances the richness of the year with a good deal of vibrancy and energy. Like all of these wines, the 2017 Madrona should drink well with (relatively) minimal cellaring.
