The Winery
Abreu Vineyards
David Abreu has been associated with many top Napa Valley vineyards like Bryant Family, Harlan Estate, and even Screaming Eagle. Abreu founded his own vineyard management company in 1980, working with at the time winemaker Richard Forman. They would frequently travel to Bordeaux to gain knowledge on vineyard management, farming techniques, and to further develop their winemaking philosophy. Abreu honed his skills for Bordelais farming style in the New World. In 1986, Abreu purchased his first vine which was the start of his own winery. David Abreu is a perfectionist with his clients’ and his own wine, and it shows in his purely world-class wines.
Summary
The Abreu Madrona Ranch 2002 is a prestigious Cabernet blend hailing from Napa Valley, crafted by renowned viticulturist David Abreu. This estate wine showcases the unique terroir of its St. Helena vineyard, characterized by volcanic and alluvial soils. The 2002 vintage is celebrated for its richness and complexity, with aromas of dark berries, spring flowers, and hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with a luxurious texture, well-integrated tannins, and vibrant acidity. This wine promises excellent aging potential and is regarded as a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet, exemplifying depth and elegance. (Blend percentages not specified.)
Tasting Notes
- WA100
- The 2002 Madrona Ranch possesses an opaque blue/purple color as well as an extraordinary, enveloping, massive aromatic profile consisting of spring flowers, charcoal, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, raspberries and blackberry liqueur. In the mouth, there is sensational texture, full-bodied intensity, and terrific freshness, precision and vibrancy, despite what is undeniably a massive, rich, intense wine that should age well for another 25-35 years. The 2001s were about as profound as I have ever tasted from Abreu, but the 2002s may be even sexier since they are slightly more evolved.
