U.S.A. > California > Napa Valley
Smith-Madrone's Cabernet Sauvignon is one of Napa's most exceptional, yet best value wines. Offering the balance and elegance of classed-growth Bordeaux at a fraction of the price, it's amongst the best from a more traditional era of Californian winemaking.


95/100The classic Cabernet from Smith-Madrone may be the best value in the entire Napa Valley at $65. Old World elegance is ever present, along with a generosity of fruit balanced with great savoury herbs and streaking graphite minerality. Aromas of wild anise, pine bough and dried sage rise in the glass, framing dark mountain blueberries and a touch of pomegranate pulp. The palate is classically cool, medium-weight, and lively with an old-school Napa authenticity. Alpine berry fruits, spearmint and earthen umami elements combine with smoky clove and wild mountain scrub, framing a sense of place and mountain terroir from the dry-farmed vines at Smith-Madrone. - Clive Pursehouse, Decanter 

92/100 - Good acidity and firm tannins combine for a grippy texture in this tangy, red-fruited wine made from the dry-farmed mountain property. Slightly lean red cherries and raspberries are accented with light herbal, toasty notes. - Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast 

91/100 - Aromas of cassis, currant leaf, pine needles, nut shell, and cedar. Full-bodied and a little tight with raw but polished tannins and juicy dark fruit. Hints of spiced oak and leafy herbs at the end. Need some time to soften. - James Suckling 

Luxurious combination of blue/black fruit. Cassis, black cherry, marionberry and black plums dominate. Dig in a little deeper and you will find subtle hints of black pepper, graphite, black olives, and a range of spices. An experienced taster should be able to identify the signature quality that 12% Cabernet Franc lends to this wine's seductive nose. Medium weight on the palate...forthcoming and forward...bright, creamy, and plush at the mid-palate.

Smith-Madrone

A visit to Stuart and Charles Smith’s winery, high up on Spring Mountain, is like a journey back to the halcyon days of 1970s Napa Valley. This is not the land of technological wine making, fancy tasting rooms and slick marketing – this is a down-home, honest and authentic wine estate that has remained largely unchanged since it was established...
