Juicy, penetrating Cabernet with lovely restrained sweetness to its flavors of dark berries, spices, flowers and minerals. Nicely pliant and deep, finishing with supple tooth-dusting tannins and lovely juicy length. Made from multiple sources\" Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tTruly amazing. Deep blue and black in colour. Mouth-filling layers of black currant, blackberry, cedar box and crushed stone. Death-defying balance and a firm, rich finish that seems to never end. Yes, amazing. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 2018 vintage was incredible. This outstanding vintage began mild followed by a long and dry ripening season in the fall. This enabled the winery to hang the fruit to reach optimal ripeness without losing acidity or increasing sugars. The wines from 2018 are exceptional in many ways, from the great expression of the whites to the beautiful refinement and complexity of the reds. Enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe original thought was to be a one wine brand, with a single minded vision to produce the best value-priced Cabernet Sauvignon in America. How do you go about this? Traditional winemaking. Natural fermentations. Barrel-aging. Plus, bottling unfiltered and unfined. In essence, making the wines in small batch winemaking integrity, but doing so on a larger scale. The wine is black. The label definitively says, \"This is Cabernet Sauvignon.\" With the CS, you know who made this wine: Charles Smith. There is also the single vineyard, single expression, Bordeaux varietals (ex: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) produced in very limited quantities. Let's not to forget, the single vineyard Loire-style Substance Sauvignon Blanc.

It’s no simple fruit bomb and has notable structure, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It reminds me of a top Cru Bourgeois from Bordeaux and represents a stunning value.

Some vineyards had issues with an October freeze a bit earlier than usual, but their high-elevation vineyards have great air drainage which allows them to extend the growing season late into October without freeze. This yielded fantastic ripening and some awesome wines with incredible balance and character. Overall, they are excited about the wine produced in 2019, which has brought them more finesse, incredible flavors and lovely balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original thought was to be a one wine brand, with a single minded vision to produce the best value-priced Cabernet Sauvignon in America.
