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 Read more »

Several quick points before I dash off to the Lexus dealer for an overdue 5k interval service:1. It's very durable. Keep it in a cool, shaded spot (not above the fridge) and it will remain relatively stable. Of course, keeping it cooler in a cellar would slow down maturation, but you aren't exactly jeopardizing a vintage port by keeping it in a ... Read More

Out of the way, down a drive lost in Spring Mountain, one comes upon Smith-Madrone, a winery that speaks as much of the past as the present. There’s a bit of a Twilight Zone feel here; it’s in a GPS black hole, and somehow it recalls the innocence of a simpler time. (“Willoughby, the next stop is Willoughby.”) Stuart and Charlie Smith play their... Read More

Skeptical I recently visited the Napa Valley for the first time in about three years. Like many wine geeks, I’m jaded when it comes to Napa Valley wines, almost programed to dismiss them based on their success. You see, to be a true wine geek has somehow morphed into cultivating an exclusive appreciation of obscure wines. Orange wines? Bring the... Read More

Found a few bottles in a marketplace in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As a former resident of Mattawa, I was intriqued and purchased them. Found them to be earthy and interesting. Keep it up.

Purchases a few bottles of Cabernet at a Santa Fe market. Found the wine to be earthy and interesting. As a former resident of Mattawa, I am always interested in how the grape vineyards are progressing. Nicely done.
