Abreu Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red 2015

Abreu Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red 2015 is one of California’s most coveted hillside reds, built on a single vineyard that helped define David Abreu’s reputation in the 1980s. Sourced from a dramatically varied site in Napa Valley, it captures the kind of depth, precision, and power that have made Madrona Ranch a benchmark for world-class Cabernet-based blends.

Tasting Notes
Deep, dark, and intensely colored in the glass, this wine shows the signature richness and concentration of Madrona Ranch. The nose is layered with blackberry, crème de cassis, licorice, black truffle, and graphite, lifted by remarkable perfume and complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and highly expressive, with generous extract, substantial structure, and a long, resonant finish. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc and smaller amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, giving the wine aromatic lift, savory nuance, and ample tannin. Built for the cellar, it has the concentration and balance to age gracefully for many years.

Production
Madrona Ranch is a single vineyard with dramatic elevation changes, shifting exposures, and a highly complex mix of soils that include volcanic Aiken soils, white tuff, clay, and rocky subsoils. These variations make viticulture demanding, but they also give Abreu the raw material for exceptional complexity. The grapes are harvested in many small passes over an extended period so each parcel can be picked at optimal ripeness, and the final blend is assembled to reflect the vineyard’s full range of character.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for richly flavored dishes such as ribeye, beef tenderloin, roasted lamb, venison, or braised short ribs. It also pairs beautifully with truffle dishes and hard aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C and, if possible, decant for at least 1–2 hours to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

Producer
Abreu Vineyards, led by David Abreu, is one of Napa Valley’s most respected cult producers, known for intensely site-driven, single-vineyard wines. Madrona Ranch was the first vineyard Abreu developed from the ground up, and it remains one of the estate’s most important and celebrated sites. In partnership with winemaker Brad Grimes, the winery has earned a reputation for producing some of California’s most powerful and refined Cabernet-based wines.
