2017 Charles Smith Wines Chateau Smith Cabernet Sauvignon [D90]

"An excellent effort, with very attractive, curranty aromas. Vibrant, peppery blackberry and sour cherry fruit with a smoky finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A lot of the full-bodied Cabs out there are either full of themselves or just full of it. Not Chateau Smith. It stays true to the old-world winemaking style from Bordeaux and honest to everyone who drinks it. And while we don’t actually have a chateau…this award-winning dry Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% the real deal. 

From the first aromas of black fruit, pencil lead and forest floor, you’re in for something special. This is a benchmark of dry Pacific Northwest Bordeaux-esque Cabernet Sauvignon—with intense flavor, depth and complexity."
