Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 15, 2023 - Smith Madrone makes old school Napa cabs that are closer to Cab based Bordeaux wines than Napa cabs. Decanting any bottles younger than 10 years is a necessity in my opinion. A couple hours of air and these wines absolutely open up and show one of the best QPRs you will find from a Napa cab. Dark fruit, solid tannin and structure to age at least another 15 years plus. Great to drink now, with some air, but I imagine sometime around 2030 or later these wines will be even more beautiful.

Complex wine, nose of dark fruit, some herbs and spice. Dark fruits with a long finish. Enough acid to age gracefully. Very balanced wine. Simply delicious.
