January 27, 2018 - Smith-Madrone makes great wine. In fact, their standard Cabernet bottling is a tremendous value - and I would stick with it. This wine featured intense red and brown fruit flavors, a fine structure, and a medium to full bottle. However, it lacked complexity given the price of the wine. After about two hours the flavors flattened out with little change in the overall palate feel so there is more time. In fairness, my hopes may have been too high given my affinity for their standard bottling. Cheers!
