Madrona Ranch is located in the St. Helena appellation at the base of Spring Mountain. At the base of the ranch,

Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc were planted in 1980. The upper portion of the vineyard was planted

in 1985 and 1986 to Merlot and more Cabernet Sauvignon. Recently, three new blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon

have been planted as well as two blocks of Cabernet Franc and one block of Petit Verdot. The two soil profiles

are Pleasanton loam and Aiken loam. Madrona Ranch wines are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet

Franc with accents of Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The first release from Madrona Ranch was the 1987 vintage.
