Scents of petrol, pineapple and lime mark the nose of the 2018 Riesling, which continues a long heritage of Smith-Madrone Rieslings. It's medium-bodied, just off-dry and intense, with ample concentration and a long, crisp finish. In a Napa Valley that has become increasingly focused on Cabernet Sauvignon (and the occasional Chardonnay), it's refreshing to find that these sorts of individual, characterful wines still exist.

With 12.9% alcohol, this Riesling is absolutely dry and fascinatingly complex. High acidity frames citrus fruit, green apple and mineral flavors. Should develop in interesting ways over the next six years. ——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 90

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.——S.H.(9/1/2009)—— 92
