2015 Madrona Ranch

Tasting notes
Pitch black in color, the black fruit here shows incredible levels of ripeness, depth and freshness. The wine is earthy, with truffles, salty tannins and complexities which become more apparent as the wine remains in the glass. Dense, rich and full-bodied, the finish really stays with you. This should age effortlessly for at least 2-3 decades.

The clarity and transparency are superb in this young red with blackberries, blackcurrants, and floral aromas, which follow through to a full body. Lush and plush velvety tannins unfold to a refined and almost powdery texture. Drink in 2022.
As for the 2015 Madrona Ranch, there are 20 barrels of it, which is essentially 500 cases of wine. A wine of surreal richness and intensity, with an opaque blue/black/purple color, the wine smells awesome, with notes of charcoal, camphor, incense, graphite, blackberry, cassis and possibly some floral undertones. Unctuously textured, thick and juicy, with an energized mouthfeel despite its massive fruit and extract, this is an incredible effort and one that will age for 35-50 years.
