More about the 2021 Madrigal Nuestra Sangre Calistoga Estate Red: Madrigal’s 2021 Nuestra Sangre Red is a vivid expression of the character and charm of Calistoga terroir. This wine brilliantly blends Merlot with a dash of Petite Sirah, captivating the palate with its showy, crowd-pleasing style. It features finely polished tannins that balance effortlessly with vibrant acidity, a clear reflection of the volcanic soils and cool evening breezes that define Calistoga terroir. Rooted in three generations of Napa Valley farming, Madrigal Family Winery was established in 1995 when Chris Madrigal planted the flag for his family’s future in wine. Set on eight acres of pristine land in Calistoga, the winery quickly gained recognition for its authenticity and bold style. It's telling that in 2024, the vineyards and winery were sold to Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre, though the Madrigal family retained the brand. In the 2021 vintage, Merlot leads with supple richness, offering a plush and seamless texture that invites early enjoyment. Petite Sirah adds grip and depth along with lift and dark-toned complexity, creating a layered wine that is as poised as it is powerful. Nuestra Sangre drinks beautifully now but possesses enough structure and soul to evolve gracefully over time.
