772 | Wine | Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007

"Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by attractive aromas of incense, red and black currants, spice, and forest floor...It reveals lots of blue, black, and red fruits, medium body, good acidity, and a fine finish." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

"This wine is very vibrant and youthful in color, with a nose of violet, red plum, rasberry, licorice, and spice. On the palate, a splash of more intense red cherries washes in, along with an edge of black tea, tobacco, mint, and a finish that is long with blackberries. The acidity is fresh, and the tannins are unified and supporting. Structurally, this is an elegant, food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon, middle-weight, deep, and intense, with an old-world expression."

"The 2007 Madrona Ranch is a compelling, creamy-styled red offering an assortment of aromas, including white chocolate, graphite, forest floor, blackberries, cassis and blueberries. Pure, multilayered and super-rich, without any harshness or astringency, this is one of those wines that can be drunk young or laid away for 25+ years." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

"Dense and firm. ...this gutsy red shows a nice flex behind the tannins, with rich flavors of dark berry, dark chocolate, cedar and melted black licorice. The signature minty trait presents itself for now as a bay leaf and black tea aroma."

"Tight and concentrated with a dense, rich, chewy beam of dried currant, mineral, graphite, black cherry and blackberry fruit that's intense and full-blown, both flexing its muscle while displaying deft balance. Ends with a compact, layered finish."

"Notes of creme de cassis, charcoal, smoke, and fruitcake. Full-bodied and dense with the vintage’s sweet tannins on display, this long, voluptuous, sexy Cabernet should be enjoyed over the next 15 years." Reviewed by Robert Parker.
