Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon

Smith-Madrone Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 Review

Cabernet Sauvignon’s green character certainly comes through on this mountain Napa wine, likely amped up by the small proportion of Cabernet Franc blended in. Ripe, dusty black cherry fruit transitions into brambly berries on the grassy palate, the fine, grippy tannins providing great balance.
