It has been in bottle for over a year, and this wine, like all the others, has easily soaked up its aging in 100% new Taransaud barrels. It is a sumptuous, unctuously-textured, fabulously concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon that hits all the sweet spots on the palate, and puts the olfactory senses into overdrive. The wine smells and tastes perfect. It is a compelling effort that one day will be considered part of a small group of elite California Cabernets that may be rewriting the definition of greatness in Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1997 boasts an opaque black\/purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of roasted meats, scorched earth, blackberry, creme de cassis, minerals, and toast. The soaring aromatics are matched by a phenomenally intense, seamless palate, with full-bodied opulence, exquisite purity and symmetry, and a multidimensional finish that lasts for nearly a minute.

Since then, the wines have become highly respected and sought-after. The Madrona Ranch vineyard is at the base of Spring Mountain, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot in Pleasanton loam and Aiken loam soils.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Abreu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44660615971040,"sku":"120906","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/abreu-madrona-ranch-cabernet-sauvignon_1_bda98b12-a64d-4c57-841e-580bb2e80d13.jpg?v=1705957407","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/abreu-madrona-ranch-cabernet-sauvignon-1997-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
