This Cabernet Franc from the Spring Mountain District in Napa Valley, California, is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. It opens with ultra dark red fruit, floral notes of roses and violets, dried herbs and white pepper. The palate is fresh, lively and welcoming, with refined tannins under silky fruit. It drinks well now and has the structure and intensity to last for many years.
Smith-Madrone is a family-run, estate-bottled winery. In 1971 the Smiths bought 200 acres high on Spring Mountain, west of St. Helena, and Charles and Stu built the winery by hand from stone and lumber on the property. Their 38 acres of vines sit between 1,300 and 1,900 feet on steep slopes of red volcanic Aiken loam and are mostly dry-farmed. Fewer than 4,000 cases are released each year.
