Beautiful wine. Dark fruits, tobacco, cocoa, leather, and cedar. Such concentration and length. Oak and extraction totally in check. Well done Charlie.

An excellent bordeux style blend containing 72% cabernet sauvignon and 30% syrah varietals that we shared for my birthday at JJ's restaurant. It has a mineral nose given that part of the fruit is sourced via the river rock vineyard. It's palate demonstrates polish and impeccable balance, with soft tannins, from start to finish.

2012 is decent, not quite as good as some prior vintages. Needs more time

Fantastic Washington blend. (72% Cab Sauv/28% Syrah). Great dark cherry and vanilla flavors! Mild oak with great balance! This wine is a winner!
Revisited this one in Oct 2019. Still well integrated and soft. Wine still quite fresh and delicious. So easy to drink. Revisited in January 2024. Sooooooooo Smooth.

Beautiful, but a bit young. A bit to overwhelming, but great craftsmanship

Lovely blend, well structured and quintessential Charles Smith. Paired well with early Thanksgiving in New Hampshire. Wish we could have decanted it first.
