"The 2014 Madrona Ranch Proprietary Red is deep garnet-purple in color and sings of crushed blackcurrants
The palate is exquisitely defined
acacia flowers and a touch of chocolate
the 2017 Chardonnay Hudson features super intense notes of freshly squeezed lemon
but remains balanced and focused
Rouget Vosne Romanee 2023 750mL (Slightly Scuffed Label) US Red "The 2014 Madrona Ranch Proprietary"As readers will remember, this high altitude, late ripening site often delivers the most incisive wine in the cellar, and the 2023 Vosne Romane 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus is no exception. Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis and plums mingled with incense and spices, it's medium to full bodied, layered and concentrated, with a taut, chalky profile and a penetrating finish."
