Charles Smith Cs Syrah 2010

Member Review by nrphoto:

vibrant ruby color. aromas of fruit and caramel,apple, blackberry a little sweet. subtle floral notes. Sweet, and fruity, mocha a little tobacco. Hints of brown sugar. Subtle tannins. Very rich and really well balanced. Wonderfully complex, and a beautiful finish. Super light mouth feel. This wine is a little flat upon opening, but really benefits from a little time to breathe. A fine syrah,

Charles Smith:

First there was K Vintners, then the Magnificent Wine Company and now winemaker Charles Smith brings you his latest revelation. Charles Smith Wines: The Modernist Project is a response to how people generally consume wine today, that is immediately…as in immediately after being purchased at a market, restaurant or bar, to be drunk straight away. Wine in this category is typically ether simple, or is a wine that would be much better a few years down the road. ‘Modernist Project’ wines are about putting as much into the bottle as possible. The intent is to create wines to be enjoyed now, but with typicity with regards to variety—that is merlot that tastes like merlot—and to the vineyard—wine that tastes like where it was grown. The wines are full of flavor, balanced, and true to their place of origin. Owner-winemaker Charles Smith with his big hair, kick ass attitude and bold packaging arrived in the Walla Walla Valley following eleven years in Scandinavia managing rock bands. Originally hailing from northern California, he has been involved with wine personally and professionally his entire life. Read less
