The original thought was to be a one wine brand, with a single minded vision to produce the best value-priced Cabernet Sauvignon in America. How do you go about this? Traditional winemaking.

The label definitively says, This is Cabernet Sauvignon. With the CS, you know who made this wine: Charles Smith.
