This is an excellent wine. Hints of black cherry and spice, very bold yet smooth. Excellent flavor and great legs. Highly recommend — 10 years ago

Lucious floral and fruit aromas followed by bold flavors of raspberry jam with subtle oak overtones. Well structured and balanced with great mouthfeel and a great lingering finish. One of my favorite big Pinot Noir's. — 11 years ago

For the young age of this wine it is a great buy. Dark color and bold. On the palate you can taste a chocolate flavor. This is a great wine. — 12 years ago

I am not a fan of Pinot Noir but this one is delicious. Almost as bold and big as my favorite Washington reds. — 12 years ago

2006 vs 2013 tasting. While the 13 was big, bold and powerful the 06 still carried those traits but in a subdued manor with finesses. Looking forward to my shipment of 13 next spring and picked up some 06s to hold me over. Love the petit Verdot in this really gives it that silky feel and beautiful color. — 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! — 12 years ago

Really great wine that starts pretty bold - dark berry upfront, hints of chocolate on the finish. Really great. But you have to love dark reds — 12 years ago
