Description
Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon 1995Madrona Ranch
Bottle (1)
"The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Madrona Ranch is a strikingly superb Cabernet Sauvignon. Although it includes 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot in the blend, I would never have guessed that. Aged in 100% new Taransaud barrels (as are all Abreu's wines), this wine boasts an opaque purple color, in addition to a fabulous bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, cassis, licorice, minerals, and smoky, toasty oak. The wine's aromatics soar from the glass, and in the mouth, the bouquet's promise is fulfilled. A thick, juicy, black fruit character comes across in cascades of fruit, glycerin, and extract. All of this has been buttressed by sweet tannin and good acidity. A voluptuously-textured, blockbuster, yet remarkably harmonious wine, it is one of the finest efforts of the vintage." (95 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 1998)
“The 1995 Madrona Ranch, tasted from magnum, is one of the highlights at a charity dinner at Medlar restaurant. Still remarkably youthful, it offers a cornucopia of red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit on the nose, while Indian ink, pressed violet and iris flower join the chorus line with aeration. The palate is intense yet balanced, with very pure and seductive red fruit and a slightly confit-like finish. Difficult to resist, I would actually afford this another few years if broached in this format.” (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2025)
