• MSNBC article praises McFadden's organic collaboration with Sterling Vineyards. "The region has become known as a hub of organic winemaking and for the sauvignon blanc, Sterling sources grapes from the Guinness McFadden Vineyard in Mendocino’s Potter Valley.  The 2007 sauvignon blanc is first-rate, and it is just the latest example of excellent Mendocino sauvignon I have tasted recently." See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27090504/ 

• Our 2005 Coro stands out from the pack!  "It’s tough to pick individual winners out of a winning team, but a few wines stood out.  I liked the newcomer, McFadden; it’s a chewy, fully stuffed wine with all the black berries and cherries you could want, and it balances its softness on the palate with intensely focused flavors."  See: http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-review/631/Coro-Mendocino-2005.html#http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-review/631/Coro-Mendocino-2005.html
