Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Tangy and delicious! #BOOM - A perfect pairing for smoky BBQ fare. Charles Smith Wines out of Washington state are producing some uber popular consumer friendly wines that are poured in many niche restaurants around North America. Tasted August 2015. 89 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Aromas of smoke and red fruit. The palate gives flavors of cherry and raspberry with a note of spice on the finish. The tannins are soft and velvety. Pair with BBQ ribs or a smoky bacon cheeseburger.
Paul Burt rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

I love this stuff. Big, expressive and in your face this exudes the CS karisma. Wonderful fruit - blueberries and blackberries, oak and pepper with just a touch of gamy notes and a lengthy aftertaste.
