Wine Spectator
Plump, supple and complex, with good depth to the black currant, plum, cherry and touch of balsamic vinegar flavors framed by modest tannin and generous toasty oak. (JL)

K&L Notes
The Madrigal Cabernet is a great example of the quality that we can look forward to from the 1999 vintage. The wine is loaded with currant and cassis flavors, mint, toast and cedar. A wonderful Cabernet that is drinking excellent now and will age well over the next 5 years!
