Smith Madrone is another small family winery up in the Spring Mountain area. It’s so small and operated by 4 people and was closed for over a year when COVID started. They finally reopened for tasting this fall and I jumped on the opportunity. Winery has been recommended by several other people in the industry and the wines and the view lived up to the hype. Tasting is casual and set up on top of the hill and the view was do die for. Dry riesling was so refreshing! Also LOVED the Cabernet Sauvignon blended with a small percentage of Cab Franc that made it unique. Great price point for the area too! If you can’t do a whole tasting, it’s also a good idea to see if you can stop by for the view and purchase a few bottles.
