Charles Smith Wines

Few winemakers have a story quite like Charles Smith. Though born and raised just an hour from Napa Valley, California, Charles didn’t discover his love of wine until he moved to Europe. While living abroad, he managed a number of rock bands, including the acclaimed Danish duo The Raveonettes. It was the culinary indulgences of the rock and roll lifestyle on the road that ignited Charles’ passion for great wine.

In 2001, Charles released 330 cases of his first vintage. Eight years later, he was named Winemaker of the Year by Food & Wine magazine and again in 2014 by Wine Enthusiast.

Charles’ knowledge of and respect for old world winemaking techniques, coupled with his dedication to the way people actually drink wine, is what makes his wines so unique.

His reds undergo extended maceration on the skins without being racked after the malolactic fermentation is complete. This allows for extended time on the lees, which improves mouthfeel.

The whites are made without battonage and are fined and filtered for stability. And when they’re ready to drink, Charles says “drink it how you like it!”
