The 2021 Smith Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Spring Mountain District, west of St. Helena in the Napa Valley. It is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot, estate-grown and dry-farmed on steep slopes at 1,800 feet in red Aiken soil. The aromas run from black currants and red plums to lavender, violets and green olives. On the palate, blue-black fruit meets a silky texture and a bright finish. It was aged 18 months in French oak, 55% new, and left unfined.
Smith-Madrone is a family-run, estate-bottled winery. In 1971 the Smiths bought 200 acres high on Spring Mountain, and Charles and Stu built the winery by hand from stone and lumber on the property. Today they farm 38 acres between 1,300 and 1,900 feet, mostly dry-farmed, and release fewer than 4,000 cases a year. Their wines use barrel fermentation, sur lie aging and open top fermentation.
