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.

Trefethen Family Vineyards

Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

One of our favorites wineries, this vintage is a bit drier and lighter than the 2020 (which we preferred slightly better), probably a bit young to open, best if paired with a well seasoned and juicy/fatty steak. — 14 days ago

First time trying this and coming off the back of a dry month.
Impressive for its depth and weight. Nose displays blueberry jam and a hint of sandalwood. Palate is opulent and rich - pretty much stood still in the bottle. Glorious tannins, acidity and that Cali sweet note on the finish put this in the outstanding category.
