Madrigal 2004 Sonnet #63 Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Sonnet #63
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Madrigal / Napa Valley

There’s a good wine in here that wants to get out, but it will take some time. Even though this Bordeaux blend is more than four years old, it’s still stiff in tannins, with a dry, withering mouthfeel. But there’s a solid core of black currants. Give it until 2010, at least.
