Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: Deep garnet in color with a lingering touch of purple, the 2007 Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red has a truly profound nose—wood smoke, beef drippings, licorice, black soil and truffles—over a core of blackberry preserves and Black Forest cake with black pepper, cinnamon stick, potpourri and dried mint nuances.
- Vinous: Bold, ripe and explosive, the 2007 possesses superb depth, not to mention tons of unbridled power. A rush of red stone fruit, rose petal, smoke, licorice and plum, all buffered by beams of tannin, hit the palate in this potent Napa Valley wine.
Producer Information
Abreu Vineyards is a wine producer in the Napa Valley, in northern California. The winery specializes in single-site Cabernet Sauvignon blends from four distinct sites in the St Helena and Howell Mountain sub-appellations. Founder and owner David Abreu has a long history in the viticultural industry, having previously managed properties for some of Napa’s most famous estates, including Harlan Estate and Screaming Eagle. His own wines have reached cult status as well, and several have been awarded 100-point scores by Robert Parker. The estate was established in 1980 with the planting of the Madrona vineyard in St Helena. Over time, Abreu acquired vineyard holdings at three additional properties: Cappella, one of the oldest vineyard sites in St Helena, Howell Mountain vineyard in the AVA of the same name, and finally Thorevilos, which is wedged between St Helena and Howell Mountain, and was planted in 1990. Most of the Abreu Vineyards’ wines are predominately made of Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The fruit is picked in the morning to retain freshness, and is hand-sorted twice prior to fermentation. All wines go through malolactic fermentation before being aged in new French oak for two years before bottling. After an additional two years in bottle, it is released to the public, and often sold out exclusively to Abreu’s mailing list. The wines are ripe but structured and rich but not over-the-top.
