Each year, the Wood Family Vineyards in Livermore are fortunate to receive high quality grapes from the Madden Ranch Vineyard located above the Poppy Ridge Golf Course. The grapes are sourced from a specific hillside and shared with Winter Olympic Gold Medalist Peggy Fleming! 2005 was an exceptional year at the Madden Ranch Vineyard owned by John Madden and his family.

Dark opaque purple meets you eye-to-eye as you focus on the wine in your glass. You know this is going to be big! Aromas of blueberries are contrasted by a maple-cured, bacon meatiness. Take one sip and you are rewarded with dusty blackberries. A toasty oak finish completes the experience.
