Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 Review
Mellow, soft aromas of mixed berries rolled in potting soil and melted milk chocolate give way to huge, juicy, ripe blackberry flavors accompanied by vanilla bean and baking spice. Coarse tannins and green grass balance the rich fruit and body, satisfying those who appreciate a bold, ripe red wine.
