Hill Smith Estate

Smith Madrone

Spring Mountain District Riesling 2021

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose of apples, lemons, limes, minerals and light diesel notes.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with a touch of RS to balance it out. Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, light diesel, limes, light grapefruits herbs and sea salt.

Tangy finish with limes and herbs.

This 4 year old Riesling from Spring Mountain is starting to drink nicely now, but needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Spicy and entertaining.

I've had a few vintages of this wine, and so far the 2018 vintage is my favorite one.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food. Crisp and better when not too cold.

13.2% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$40.

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Spectacular, full-bodied, and intense, yet silky smooth. Drinking well now, but plenty of time left. Dark chocolate, dark cherries, cassis, oregano and other herbs. Decanted for about four hours. — 6 days ago

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Grand Cru Classé de Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Nuanced red. Nothing bold, nothing angular, nothing out of place. Balanced, intriguing dark wild berry flavors expressing slowly and carefully. Whispers of earth, and forest floor. Great wine to sit down and savor. But that is hard to do when there are two other people savoring that same wine and it just ‘poof’ disappears. — 4 days ago

Vibrant color. Wow, it’s like the Little Red Riding-hood porridge of wine. Not too dry, bold, acidic, long, short or tannic. Just right! Absolutely delicious. Would absolutely buy again and one of the best wines I’ve had in a long time. — 11 days ago
