- Gold Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition - Jan 9, 2009
Our first Madden Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon wins a GOLD medal - wow - are we happy! This wine deserves the award - it is absolutely an outstanding Cabernet. The vineyard rows were hand selected by Tom, hand picked at Harvest and hand sorted. Barrel aging in French and American Oak for 20 months gave it great complexity. All the work paid off!
