description: Smith-Madrone makes one of California's best Alsatian-style Rieslings from their estate high up on this estate in the Mayacamas. It's a dry, crisply acidic wine, brimming with citrus, pear, diesel, honeysuckle and mineral flavors, and it's an ager, as vertical tastings prove. Beautiful now and through 2013.
variety: Riesling
