Blackberry, fig paste, dark chocolate, leather. Great grip. Nice finish. Steal of a deal for a Spring Mountain Cab!

Super smooth, subtle oak, elegant tannins full bodied with a light touch. I look forward to my next experience from SMITH-MADRONE. My new favorite Napa wine

Bit simple. Polished. Cherries, toffee, vanilla, and spice. Fruit forward and modern for a smith madrone.

Outstanding as usual. Robust but not over the top. Fruitier than other years - lots of blackberries. More mineral on the finish. Great structure.

Solid Napa cab. Acid, dark fruit, cocoa power and a touch of green.

Strong fruit, red and black, with a hint of minerality. Yummy yummy, age on it helps, smooth and sweet.
