Winestyr Review

If you're a lover of Cabernet Franc, this is a must-have for your collection. Here we have three vineyard blocks blended together, including high elevation sites on Pine Mountain and Chalk HIll, resulting in a sturdy but nonetheless fresh expression. Élevage takes place in used French oak barrels for 21 months before the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Smith Story Wine Cellars

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.

These bootstrapping winemakers are delivering great quality and consistency in their wines. Mrs. Smith used to live in our hometown of Austin, TX, so Smith Story has a great retail and restaurant presence and we've had a chance to taste several different expressions of their wines. This Cab Franc is young but elegant and balanced. I'd hold it for a bit before drinking.

Earthy.

Pretty flat, lacking complexity, not many detectable notes. Enjoyable enough to finish the bottle, but not to buy again.
