Darcie Kent Vineyards Madden Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard Notes: Hugging the wind-swept hillsides of the Altamont Pass, the vineyard tended by Virginia and John Madden (yes, that John Madden) is so steep that water runs off quickly and the vines struggle to survive. This struggle pays off splendidly and the resulting grapes are both complex and intensely flavored. The topography of the land also allows for multiple microclimates, allowing the Maddens to experiment with various sustainable growing practices.
