Jamie and I recently signed up for this Zagat wine club and low and behold we were delivered a crate of various bottles of red wine. When I was asked to choose one, I obviously went for the prettiest bottle, and that was Charles Smith. A 2008 Cabernet. It was delicious! Very smooth and drinkable. I wish I'd taken better notes - it's been a week or two - but I would love to go out and buy a whole case and have it as my go-to red.
After thinking we liked this obscure wine, we found Charles Smith was rated Wine Maker of the Year, so he's not really an underdog. Nevertheless, I'm still as enamored as I was when I thought it was obscure.
(I didn't think to photograph the bottle at the time, so this I just snatched off google)
