1996 Abreu "Madrona Ranch" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Madrona Ranch reveals a blueberry/blackberry, cr̬me de cassis character with smoky oak, new saddle leather, licorice, dried herbs, and mineral scents. Expansive, with terrific intensity, purity, and overall symmetry, it has noticeable tannin in the finish. (RP)
