Loved this. Not too rich, and yet still distinctly "chard." — 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

Simply -- A very good wine. Deep in color and medium to full body. Oak, light fruit, and hints of smoke on the nose. Very balanced on the palate with subtle fruit and well measured oak and smoke. Nice finished. Overall a great value. — 10 years ago

Really nice, I was surprised, full bodied, a little young, good value for the price. This was the 2012 vintage. — 10 years ago
