The story

The story behind Charles Smith

Charles Smith started in Walla Walla in 1999 with a tiny cellar and a K Vintners label; the Columbia Valley fruit behind his Syrah comes from sites like Wahluke Slope and Royal Slope, warm ground that ripens the grape to a dark, peppery pitch. He built the everyday line later, and it kept the same idea: Syrah first, oak in the background.

We have carried these bottles at the Commack store for years, back when the labels were harder to find east of the Hudson. Washington Syrah sits between the Rhone and California in weight, and Charles Smith leans into the riper side without losing the black pepper. That is why the Boom Boom stays on our shelf.
