Madson Massa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Madson Wines is a collaboration between Cole Thomas, Ken Swegles and Abbey Chrystal out of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The trio is committed to celebrating the terroir of these mountains, highlighting the natural freshness and acidity grapes are able to retain here. They work mostly with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, showcasing single-vineyard bottlings as well as blends. Their focus is on energy and elegance.
Massa Vineyard is perched above the Cachagua region of Carmel Valley at 1300 feet above sea level with sandy, loamy soils. The current stewards of the vineyard prioritize holistic management through cover cropping, composting, beneficial insect management, and water conservation.
A palate of balanced acidity with enticing aromas of cinnamon, pine dust and red fruit. Black tea, hibiscus, and dried herbs on the palate.
