Seattle Magazine names Charles Smith winemaker of the year in "2010 Best Washington Wines" written by Shannon Borg. "A powerhouse in the Washington wine world, Charles Smith (509.526.5230; charlessmithwines.com), K Vintners’ owner/winemaker, has been admired and vilified for his no-nonsense approach to wine—“It’s just booze, drink it!”—and his ability to create a buzz around whatever he touches. His Modernist Project is a collection of wines that show “varietal typicity” (i.e., Merlot that tastes like Merlot), as well as being affordable and approachable while young. The names of his wines are irreverent—Old Bones Syrah, Kung Fu Girl, The Velvet Devil Merlot, Boom! Boom! Syrah—and the wines themselves are just as in your face, or rather, in your mouth, with full-flavored fruit and an earthy and oaky intensity that have become synonymous with the dynamic changes constantly in play in Washington wine." Please contact your sales representative for more information about Charles Smith's wines.
