- On the nose, oak, toast and nuttiness all combine delightfully with the minerality and lemon notes. On the palate, the wine is an impressive mouthful. It is opulent and creamy, yet laced with an enlivening acid that seamlessly leads to a crisp refreshing finish. All in all, this is a terrific wine for food as well as a delicious wine to drink for its own sake.
- 100% Chardonnay, that is barrel fermented and aged for 10 months in French oak (85% new oak). From steep, rocky soil, dry-farmed estate vineyards on top of Spring Mountain.
-
All Smith-Madrone wines are made entirely from their dry-farmed estate vineyards surrounding the winery.
- Pairs delightfully alongside pan-seared scallops with a white wine and garlic cream sauce.
- Can be aged for up to 5 years.

"Opening with scents of petrol and cut grass, the 2017 Riesling is something of an oddity for Napa, where Riesling has largely been replaced by other varieties. Notes of paraffin, green apple and lime also appear on the nose, while the almost-dry, medium-bodied palate is cool, refreshing and stony, with a long, tangy finish and hints of beeswax and honey. It's already drinkable, but like many Rieslings, it should have a decently long drinking window." Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, 92 pts
