Charles Smith Renames Firm ‘Wines of Substance’

Charles Smith, founder of Washington State’s largest winemaker-owned winery and the fourth largest wine producer in the state, announced a new name for his international company – Wines of Substance. This launches a revitalized vision for his portfolio of high-caliber wines, including K Vintners, SIXTO, CasaSmith, Substance and B. Leighton.

This change comes following the sale of Charles Smith Wines: The Modernist Collection, which included five wines, to Constellation Brands, Inc. in October 2016.

The new company name embodies the belief that having delicious wine, pouring it in a glass and sharing it among friends is what matters. The distractions that typically surround wine are absent.

Wines of Substance continues Charles Smith’s dedication to producing the absolute best, which begins in the vineyard and ends in the glass. This is evidenced by the fact that in the recent Wine Advocate vintage review, wines in Charles Smith’s portfolio scored exceptionally high, including 12 wines at 95 points or higher.
