Estimate
The perfect 2012 Madrona Ranch displays notes of roasted coffee, forest floor, incense, Christmas fruitcake, blackcurrants and blackberry fruit in an incredibly fragrant, full-bodied, opulent style.
Blood orange, sweet red berries, mint, cinnamon and a host of bright notes grace the palate. Exquisite, subtle and beautifully nuanced, the 2012 has everything going on.
So much black fruit, black currant leaf, and black slate on the nose. Full body, chewy and wider grain tannins. Plenty of cocoa powder. Dusty. Needs four or five years to come completely together.
