This is a very fine Sauvignon blanc. Lots of honey suckle aroma and layers of fruit. A Best Buy imho — 8 years ago

9.2

A replacement for the Pairing as a Marry Edwards regular bottle. Definitely sharper and less pronounced stone fruit, but nicely balanced and went well with all dinner courses. Bottles went too fast to see how they opened, so questionable still as a stand-alone (probably great); high marks for elevating the usual crisp white wine dishes. — 8 years ago

6-hour decant. Deep purple color. Blackberry and raspberry cobbler, graphite, cassis, cocoa powder. Round tannins even at this early age. A finish that goes on forever. One of the best cabernets I've ever had. Well done, @Mike Smith. — 9 years ago

9.2

Wonderful ... Ready to drink with no aeration needed ... Nose of mixed cherry and black fruits is not shy ... Palate of darker fruits with cocoa undertones. SLH is a great Pinot appellation! — 10 years ago

Very nice LBV Porto. Cherry cola bursts in the nose and palate and then into cedar, vanilla, clove. A pleasant Fernet-like astringency keeps the sugar at bay. — 11 years ago

A dense glass-staining purple, the '06 Charles Smith Syrah 'Royal City' is a monumental wine. Big, pungent aromas of game, truffles, black olives and dried fruits exploded from the glass. Complex, but still seamlessly balanced. The tastes stayed on the palate for a seemingly infinite length of time. Simply wonderful! — 13 years ago

Not your typical plush mike smith cab. Fruit is definitely hidden on opening, but a little air reveals some of it. Interesting to see what time does with this one. We personally like it now for it’s focus, acid/tannin/fruit balance, freshness. — 7 years ago

Delightful little wine. In retrospect, should have waited for a few years before opening it. Recommend decanting it. — 8 years ago

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the House of Charles Smith is always enjoyable. Well balanced and fruit forward with black fruits, earth and chocolates.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with Cheeses, olives and nuts.

Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up (1 hour). Will get even better in a year or two.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points. — 8 years ago

Bright, clean and vibrant nose of bees wax, apricot, sage and white flowers. Racy acidity with a refreshing mouth full of grapefruit, lemon balm, and nectarines. The zippy finish is laden with wet stone, citrus zest and white pepper. — 8 years ago

Ali Story, of Smith-Story Wines, was in town and did a nice tasting at Classic today. A pleasure to meet and very unique and enjoyable wines.

This is an elegant style Pinot...lots of brambly notes, kirsch, and cedar bark. All red and black fruits here. Ali said that the barrels this pinot is done in comes from Russell Bevan. Quite the opposite style! — 8 years ago
