If you are suddenly possessed by the desire to grill a steak, this devil is to blame.
This classic, fresh Washington Merlot has velvety layers of rich black fruit flavors and has earned high marks from wine publications.
When the Hollywood blockbuster film Sideways sparked a sudden Merlot hatred, Charles was determined to adamantly reject the film's unflattering portrayal of this great grape variety.
One sip of this bold, sensual wine and you'll be convinced he's made Merlot sexy again.
As its name suggests, this wine is truly velvety smooth.
It has infinite depth and a mellow aroma of dark fruits, cedar, and blackcurrant, providing a delicious taste that lasts forever.
It is rich, yet pure and strong-willed.
Even the devil would surely want a bite.
Charles Smith Wines was founded by our first winemaker, Charles Smith.
He was originally a rock band manager and a small wine shop owner, before starting his own business with 300 cases of wine he made in his own style.
Charles Smith has won numerous awards, including Winery of the Year and Winemaker of the Year, and is now one of Washington's leading winemakers.
Not only his appearance, but also the label design is unforgettable once you see it.
The theme of Charles Smith Wines is “modernist” - wines for people who like modern, new sensibilities and trends.
Wine to buy today and enjoy today.
You'll be amazed at how high the quality is, just as it looks impressive.
This is a casual wine that represents Washington, allowing you to experience the true character of the grape variety and vineyard.
Label Design: Artistic, iconic and instantly recognisable, the playful label has been acclaimed since the first vintage was released in 2006.
The concept alludes to the flavors and pairings of wine, and the design was done by Charles' longtime friend Ricky Koff.
Raised in Denmark, she worked as design director for the premium line at Levi Strauss before starting her own design house.
"My design style has always been, and will always be, functionality, modernity and simplicity.
It is based on this pure perspective.
Combine that with the soul of rock and roll and raw honesty to create a future icon and cult brand.
