Cs Cabernet Sauvignon

Substance is a project from Washington winemaker Charles Smith that focuses on expressing the character of a single grape variety with minimal fuss and maximum transparency. Each wine is named with a simple abbreviation of the varietal, such as Cs (Cabernet Sauvignon), Ch (Chardonnay), Ri (Riesling), and Pn (Pinot Noir), emphasizing the wine's "substance" over elaborate branding.

The wines are sourced from carefully selected vineyards across Washington State, particularly the Columbia Valley, and are known for delivering exceptional quality and varietal purity at approachable prices. The minimalist labels and straightforward names reflect the brand's philosophy: let the vineyard, grape, and vintage speak for themselves. Today, Substance has become one of Washington's most recognized wine brands, admired for consistently overdelivering in quality and value.

A classic study in Cabernet Sauvignon. Black raspberry, red currant, potpourri, and orange zest. Dense and complex it continues with dried currant, cherry pit, black tea, bay leaf, and crushed rock. Dusty refined tannins and silky richness. It is a pure, beautiful CAB!
