PEOPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brothers Stu and Charles Smith arrived on Spring Mountain in 1971, when it was still mostly uninhabited\u2014though they soon discovered that the site that would become Smith-Madrone was planted to vineyards prior to Prohibition. More than 40 years later, theirs is still a two-man operation, with Stu overseeing viticulture and Charles running the winery. Total annual production hovers around 5,000 cases.<\/p>\n

VINEYARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ranging in altitude from about 1,200 to 2,000 feet and planted on steep pitches, the dry-farmed Smith-Madrone vineyards span 34 acres in various stages of production. The soils here are the Spring Mountain mix of volcanic and sedimentary rock, and the varietal mix includes 6 acres of Riesling, 10 acres of Chardonnay, 13 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, and small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A majority of these vineyards exceed 40 years of age, and it shows in the profundity of the wines.<\/p>\n

WINES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Smith-Madrone lineup, and especially the Cabernet Sauvignon, leave no doubt that they have been crafted from old-vine, mountain-grown fruit: The Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 (GREAT WINE)<\/a><\/strong> is a big, brooding wine with concentrated black and blue fruits framed by iron-shaving tannins and subtle oak spice (and, it should be noted, this powerful red easily outperforms Cabernets twice and three times its price). The Chardonnay 2015<\/strong> is 100 percent barrel-fermented and aged in new oak, boasting deep apple and pear fruit, a creamy texture, and refreshing acidity. The Riesling 2014<\/strong> is a structured, unoaked, bone-dry expression of white peach, citrus and wildflowers underpinned by wet-stone minerality and bracing acidity. It, like the Cabernet, has shown a capacity for long aging.<\/p>\n
