2016 Smith-Madrone Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

If you like classic, old school Cabernet and don't mind a solid kick of green, you'll dig the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District. Revealing a healthy purple/ruby color as well as notes of red currants, green tobacco, cedarwood, and damp earth, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a nicely concentrated, structured mouthfeel, solid ripeness in the tannins, and an outstanding finish. Give bottles a good 4-5 years of bottle age, and it should evolve nicely for 15 years or more.
