Charles Smith is a former rock band manager who has become a wine industry mogul. After touring around Europe he developed a love of good wine and decided to turn his hand to winemaking, producing his first wine in 2001. Charles's knowledge of and respect for old-world winemaking techniques, coupled with his commitment to how people actually drink wine, is what makes his wines so special. Chateau Smith, made from parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia and Yakima Valleys, is meant to be enjoyed now without pomp and circumstance. A Cabernet that tastes like Cabernet, with voluptuous fruit and silky, mouth-coating tannins.

Having grown up in Ontario, Megan Schofield was surrounded by grapes, but never imagined herself as a winemaker. However at University she was soon intrigued by the excitement around a new program being offered in oenology and viticulture and in 2000 she received her Honours Bachelor of Science degree. From there her path as a winemaker launched and she moved from country-to-country to experience as many grape harvests as possible. Megan has held the winemaker role at Beringer Vineyards, Buena Vista Winery, Robert Mondavi Winery, and today she is Head Winemaker at Charles Smith Wines.
"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." - Megan Schofield, Winemaker.
