Tasting Notes: A two-vineyard blend picked from our Pickberry vineyard on Sonoma Mountain and on the highest slopes in the Russian River Valley. This Cabernet Franc has a beautiful nose of cherries and cinnamon cake with brambly blackberries. Complex, elegant and utterly compelling, this is a brilliant Cabernet Franc! It hits all the buttons for us… fresh, elegant, perfumed and concentrated - clearly will age for decades and is mouthwateringly enjoyable now. 

2019 SMITH STORY Pickberry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Mountain

290 cases. 

Harvest Date: 10/18/2019

Fermentation: Destemmed, open top stainless steel, daily punch downs

Barrels/Aging: 100% used Bordeaux barrels

ABV: 14.9 Bottling Date: 9/1/1021 Price: $75

Tasting Notes: Soaring from the glass with aromas of blackberries, raspberries, rose petals, violets, pencil shavings. A Cabernet Sauvignon with a small percentage of Pickberry Vineyard Merlot and Cabernet Franc blended. This wine is “Sophia Loren” sumptuous, layered and sensual! It has a strikingly vibrant core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and bright acids, concluding with a seamless, powerful, yet incredibly sexy mouthfeel, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It may be our best Cabernet Sauvignon yet, oh how special this wine is.
