Abreu Madrona Ranch 2006 is a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red wine from the Napa Valley of California. David Abreu is a legendary Californian producer of highly distinctive single-vineyard wines in miniscule quantities. This cuvée represents Abreu’s first venture with Cabernet Sauvignon, woith fruit sourced from the Madrona Ranch – essentially the lower hillsides of Spring Mountain, just northwest of St Helena. "The dense purple-colored 2006 Madrona Ranch (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot) is extraordinary. Its nose of charcoal, espresso roast, blackberries, cassis, crushed rocks, and white chocolate is followed by a ripe, pure wine with a fabulous mid-palate texture (a characteristic of all these wines), and good balance as well as length." Wine Advocate, 2009
