Description
From the winery: This 2020 vintage of Madelyn Red Wine Cuvée is an anomaly to the Madelyn Red vintages past. Still made from the same amazing and notable grapes that deliver the Trujillo Napa Cabernet. This vintages challenges resulted in a slightly different composition. The 2020 Madelyn Red Wine Cuvee, for the first time, is made predominately with Cabernet Sauvignon
due to the harvest’s low yield of Cabernet and no harvest of the blending fruit. Taking advantage of the allowable 5% cross blending allowed me to include touches of 2021 Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cab Franc to fine tune this wine. The finished blend expresses exactly what is expected for Madelyn Red. It conveys an enticing, elegant richness with an extremely silky
personality.
This elegant wine is an easy choice for any and all casual settings with your friends and family, paired with your favorite comfort foods. Delicious and pleasing anytime, think of Madelyn Red Wine Cuvée like a favorite pair of blue jeans–the perfect fit for everyday occasions! It is approachable upon release. However, this wine ages gracefully in the bottle. I know the 2020 Madelyn Red Wine Cuvée will not disappoint and will meet all expectations.
Tasting notes: Its generous plush aromatics and flavors are nicely woven together to show off its velvety spicy black fruits, cedar, sweet vanilla, spice, and a hint of bittersweet cocoa. Forward flavors of dark fruits like black raspberry and cassis roll into a smooth, gorgeous finish.
