Critics scores
100 By Robert Parker
The 2013 Madrona Ranch hits the magic three-digit score. It is literally a 30- to 45-year wine in itself. It behaves like a ripe, complex first growth Pauillac, with blackberry and crème de cassis, a touch of licorice, black truffle, pen ink and graphite. Incredibly fragrant, extremely full-bodied, with abundant tannin but also enormous fruit extract and richness, it is an amazing wine and a profound effort from Abreu and Grimes.
Producer
Abreu Vineyard
Abreu Vineyards was first created in 1987 by David Abreu, a third generation native of Napa Valley and a renowned viticulturist. He began his career by working summers at Inglenook and Caymus, and as time passed, he started focusing on viticulture. In 1980, he created a viticultural firm before starting his own domaine. Working with many of the great Napa Valley producers, like Araujo, Grace Family, Harlan Estate, Bryant Family, Blankiet and Colgin, Abreu greatly grew his experience. His initial release was called Abreu, a Bordeaux blend from the famous Madrona Ranch vineyard (which he established). He followed it up with three additional releases - Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon, Thorevilos and Cappella - all star-studded wines (from separate vineyards) that have received high acclaim from critics particularly Robert Parker. He only produces 240-320 cases per year of each label from a total of 70 acres of vines.
