James Suckling Wine Ratings - TruthTeller 20201 'The Madman' Red Blend, Columbia Valley 91 points (February 14, 2024)
"Inky dark and brimming with blackberry-jam and dark-chocolate flavors. Lots of velvety tannins support black fruit and blueberries on the plush palate. Blend of 50% syrah, 34% cabernet franc and 16% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now."
