Smith Madrone
Spring Mountain District Riesling
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Pale lemon in color.
Strong nose of apples, lemons, limes, minerals and light diesel notes.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with a touch of RS to balance it out. Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light diesel, limes, light grapefruits herbs and sea salt.
Tangy finish with limes and herbs.
This 4 year old Riesling from Spring Mountain is starting to drink nicely now, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Spicy and entertaining.
I've had a few vintages of this wine, and so far the 2018 vintage is my favorite one.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Crisp and better when not too cold.
13.2% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$40.

With so much powerful Napa wine out there, trying this casual Napa Riesling is like a breath of fresh air. Pear, peach, honey, with light acidity and minerality; alcohol is medium plus. Cheers.
