Abreu Madrona Ranch St. Helena Napa Valley Red Wine 2018 750ml
100 points Wine Advocate
Like the other vintages tasted on this occasion (2016 and 2017), the 2018 Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red is massively concentrated. But what sets it apart from those other great wines is its greater degree of integration and flow. From start to nearly infinite finish, the flavors of ripe cassis, dark chocolate and purple raspberries ease across the full-bodied palate in a seamless, velvety swell of lusciousness, without ever seeming heavy or overdone. Of all the amazing wines I tasted at Abreu this year, this one rises above the others. (JC)

Lastly, the 2018 Madrona Ranch is qualitatively in the same ballpark yet is slightly deeper and richer, with bigger tannins and more notable structure. It has plenty of ripe black fruits as well as notes of scorched earth, graphite, tobacco, and crushed stone. As with all of Brad's 2018s, the purity of fruit is truly exceptional, it's perfectly balanced, has a singular character, and the class to drink well today yet cruise for upwards of three decades if stored properly.

The 2018 Madrona Ranch is stunning in its beauty. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing, as is the wine's transparency. Dried flowers, licorice, lavender and leather lend striking fragrant dimension. More than anything else, the 2018 impresses for its textural finesse and overall elegance, qualities that were rarely found in the Madrona Ranch a few years ago, when the wines were much more extracted and tannic.

Gorgeous in every facet, this drips with dark cassis, steeped plum and blackberry reduction flavors while maintaining form and focus, thanks to seamlessly inlaid graphite and alder girders for support. The long finish cruises through slowly and authoritatively, with hints of loam, espresso crema and ganache, all without being brooding or heavy-handed. The alder hint extends prominently through the rich finish. A flat-out stunner. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2045. (JM) (11/2022)na
