Smith Story Wine Cellars Pickberry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review
Husband and wife team Eric Story & Alison Smith-Story loved wine, eloped in Hawaii, conceived of a wine venture. These Texas and Bay area natives headed to Northern California and the rest is history (the story on their website is awesome). How a Cabernet Sauvignon can be almost 15% alcohol but still have blousy fruit due to wonderful, active acidity is just mind boggling. Eric and Alison Story did it. The nose has earthy, savory blackberry and pepper. On the palate the wine is so juicy and delicious with vibrant fruit and a lithe tannin structure that is like a spotter in the gym, just carrying the wine along. What a success in balance.
