Mission Codename Omnipotent

ā€œYou donā€™t have to like Charles Smith. You donā€™t have to like his billboards, his hair or his ego. But you canā€™t help but appreciate his successā€¦ his wines sell, sell, sell.ā€ ā€“ Seattle Times

Holy Bacchus, itā€™s time to kneel in the presence of THE CREATOR. 95 POINTS! Nearly HALF OFF!

The heavyweight Cab blend by K Vintnersā€™ Charles Smith and Brennon Leighton dynamic duo, that is. It reminds us of King Coal - remember the striking skeleton label? Cut off the same cloth!

Except the King Coal is around twice the price, making this ā€“ slipping comfortably under $50 ā€“ a true bargain.

And itā€™s a BIG one we tell ya. The press. The flavor. The bottle itself can double as a dumbbell. Itā€™s The Creator, hello? Hailing entirely from the Powerline Estate Vineyard, itā€™s 73% Cab, spiked with Syrah for the balance. Situated in the heart of Walla Walla Valley, this awe-inspiring site sits at 1,200 feet above sea level with soils and climate that make Napa jealous. The truth is in the bottleā€¦

Sensationally perfumed, with powerful notes of blackberries, graphite, crushed rocks, black pepper, and dark chocolate, it stokes the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, along with incredible purity of fruit. This beauty has everything ā€“ richness, acidity, density, tannins, and length.

During one of his Robert Parkerā€™s Wine Advocate visits Jeb Dunnuck wrote, ā€œOne of my favorite tastings during my Washington trip is with Charles Smith and his right-hand man, Brenna Leighton. They have one of the most stacked lineups out thereā€¦ at the top of the pyramid and are flat-out incredible wines that I wish every reader could taste. As Iā€™ve said in the past, these wines are the real deal!ā€

Hellz yea Jeb, it sure is the REAL DEAL. All hail The Creator until it disappears into the heavens.

95 Points ā€“ Jeb Dunnuck

ā€œThe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah The Creator is based on 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Syrah. This puppy boasts a ruby/plum hue as well as terrific aromatics of blackcurrants, tobacco, iron, and peppery herbs. Itā€™s medium to full-bodied, has good freshness, ripe tannins, and the straight, focused, elegant yet still concentrated style of the vintage front and center.ā€
