2005 Cabernet and Camembert

In the April issue of Mutineer Magazine, Barrie Lynn, The Cheese Impresario, paired our 2005 Cabernet with Old Chatham Sheepherding Company’s Camemberts (they make sheep’s milk and cow’s milk versions). Her verdict: “I call Smith-Madrone proprietors, Stu and Charlie Smith “The Mountain Men of Napa,” and their 2005 Cabernet is a stellar example of the power of the terroir from this unique, high-elevation property in the Spring Mountain District. The earthiness of the wine melds wonderfully with the earthiness of the sheep’s milk while bringing out the fruit-forwardness of the wine and the sweetness of the cow’s milk. Don’t miss the rind with the wine!”
