Smith-Madrone Winery & Vineyards operates in Spring Mountain District, a region defined by elevation, volcanic soils, and the structural intensity they impart to Cabernet-based wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and Riesling. Cook's Flat Reserve, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend, represents the upper range of the lineup. A straight Cabernet Sauvignon and a Riesling round out the core offerings. Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the winery's output, with Cook's Flat Reserve earning particular recognition among prestige critics.
