Smith Story Cabernet Sauvignon, Pickberry Vineyard, Sonoma Mountain, California

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.
