Even at this price Smith-Madrone Cabernet remains one of the Napa Valley’s greatest values. The 2012 from Stu and Charlie’s plot of ground high above St. Helena on Spring Mountain. The 2012 is a gorgeous wine that shows ripe aromas of cassis and blackberry, with firm tannins and exceptional depth and length. Drink now or hold for 20 years, or anytime in between.
