| Madrona's estate grown 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fine
bottle of wine. With a ruby core that fades to a shade
lighter out to the rim, this wine boasts a nice intensity of
blackberry fruit, cedar and spice with hints of black olive,
and cinnamon. In the mouth, the wine is enjoyable with silky
tannins that provide a fine drying astringency. With crisp
acidity and flavors that follow the nose, the wine is
harmoniously balanced. A persistent finish showing generous
length, Madrona's Cab has consistent intensity, a developed
complexity and is soundly delicious overall. |
