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

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

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

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. — 10 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! — 12 years ago
