A lot of the full-bodied Cabs out there are either full of themselves or just full of it. Not Chateau Smith. It stays true to the old-world winemaking style from Bordeaux and honest to everyone who drinks it. And while we don't actually have a chateau this award-winning dry Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% the real deal.

From the first aromas of black fruit, pencil lead and forest floor, you're in for something special. This is a benchmark of dry Pacific Northwest Bordeaux-esque Cabernet Sauvignon with intense flavor, depth and complexity.
