Aromatically, the 2018 Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon fills your glass with a magic conjunction of red and black fruit, cedar, graphite and perhaps a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. 

The superb nose is followed by a palate sensation of impressive size, shape and amplitude.  The wine is big and beautifully textured, but with such impeccable balance.  The structure becomes a dimension in and of itself.  The piercing, focused aroma leads to a solid core of dark Cabernet fruit.  The wine is a veritable treasure trove of aroma and flavor; it finishes long and strong with moderate fine grain tannins that suggests a long and happy future.
