The Smith Story 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon from Pickberry Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain is a classic expression of people, place, and time. Sonoma Mountain enjoyed a beautiful growing season in '16 and the Story family avoided late rains that hit just after harvest. Sonoma Mountain Cab? It's rustic at heart but this example from Eric and Ali shows off a lifted aromatic profile, especially with at least 30 minutes in the decanter.
Smith Story Wine Cellars began with the land, places that are special to Eric and Ali (and their dog Sandwich!) throughout California and Europe. Their belief is to respect what the land offers, while ultimately delivering beautiful expressions of each grape to supporters of Smith Story Wine Cellars. The wines are made with classic, old world techniques which let the fruit and terroir speak for themselves. In addition to their mission of creating a world class winery, their started Socks for Sandwich, a non-profit organization that donates and promotes giving new socks to humans in need through the sale of their line of Lord Sandwich wines.
