Vintage After Vintage: 2017 Smith Madrone Riesling Napa Valley

2017 Smith Madrone Riesling Napa Valley Spring Mountain District $34

Crisp, elegant, and refreshing - even at four years of age - this is straightforward and true to the variety while being both sophisticated and very approachable. What more could you want from a producer or wine? And then there's the quenching acidity and very subtle industrial funk - catnip for any wine nerd. Yum. I'm not sure there's another domestic riesling I enjoy vintage after vintage as much as this one. Pricey, but worth it. 92 Points (Sample)
