A note about cork taint:
What is the cause of a corked wine? The culprit is usually TCA, which is short for 2, 4, 6 Trichloroanisole. TCA is a type of fungus that occurs naturally--it's a fungi present in the bark of the cork tree, and can be easily be taken into the cork. All it takes is approximately five parts per trillion of TCA in red wine to destroy it. In white wine, it takes even less as it only requires 2 parts per trillion to ruin the wine. To illustrate this, a single drop of pure TCA could inflict its damage on more than 100 massive swimming pools.
If a wine is defective due to the cork, the problem took place the moment the cork was inserted into the bottle. At that point, or within a minute or two, the wine became corked. It is that fast. Recognizing corked wines is not always easy. The worst corked bottles smell like a wet dog, mold or old damp, wet newspapers.

Madigan Winery prefers to use natural cork, and we're aware that, while rare, it is possible that cork taint may exist in any one of our bottles of wine. We purchase our corks from reputable sources to try to avoid this problem.
Please accept our apologies if a bottle you purchased from us is corked, and be aware that we stand by our products and are happy to exchange a tainted bottle and cork for a new one.
Thank you,
Brian and Karen
