92 Points, Wine Advocate

“Bottled under screw cap, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was designed to be easy drinking, and it bursts from the glass with aromas of chocolate-covered cherries, charcuterie, wild thyme and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is bright and fresh with pure fruit, supple tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink it over the next five years.”

Tasting Notes by Winemaker Charles Smith

“Crimson crushed velvet. Compelling aromas – black currant and black raspberry. The black fruit flavors are pure, borderline savory and tinged with earth and graphite. Ripe, rich, delicious.”

Instantly recognizable as Charles Smith. No one else could or would do this label. This is “Charles Smith 2025.” Words and images communicate the language of wine. The REAL WINE label beckons from a distance. That seeing creates a question and entices closer examination. That closer scrutiny answers the question “what is REAL WINE?” and the answer is on the back label – GRAPES.

We’re leading the movement that others are only beginning to talk about—putting the ingredients front and center. No hidden additives, no fine print—just grapes. We believe consumers deserve to know exactly what they’re drinking, so we proudly list all ingredients right on the label. Our bold, no-nonsense approach is clear at first glance, and our name says it all: REAL WINE crafted with real ingredients, real transparency, and real integrity.
