Pure Wine Pleasure “Sex” is Charles Smith at his most unapologetically bold—an eye‑catching brand built on the idea that wine should be fun, fearless, and impossible to ignore. The wines lean into Smith’s signature style: ripe fruit, plush texture, and immediate drinkability, all wrapped in his iconic black‑and‑white aesthetic. Despite the provocative name, the focus is on pure hedonism in the glass—juicy, vibrant, pleasure‑driven wines crafted to be enjoyed right now, no overthinking required. It’s classic Charles Smith: rebellious, delicious, and designed to make people smile.
100% Pinot Noir Rosé from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Columbia Valley. Fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeast, this gem is beautifully highly aromatic and silky with a light body. Whispers of white peach, guave, passionfruit & lilac. Carrying through a fresh, long, satisfying finish.
93 Jeb Dunnuck The first vintage ever, the 2024 Sex Rose is made from 100% Pinot Noir and native fermented, the grapes coming mostly from the Ancient Lakes area. Fruity cherry and strawberry vanilla ride along a silky and surprisingly complex midpalate of light-bodied weight and minerality, a linear expression inspired by Sancerre that's neither round nor sweet. Guava and seashells come mostly to mind. Drink now and for the next 3-5 years.
91 James Suckling This pale apricot-colored rosé has aromas of wild flowers, strawberries, watermelons and sea shells. It's medium-bodied, cool, delicate and refreshing, with a silky texture. 100% pinot noir from Ancient Lakes. Delicious now. Screw cap.
90 Vinous The 2024 SEX, a Pinot Noir Rosé, is spicy with a burst of crushed strawberries and mint. It coasts across the palate with soft textures while displaying a pretty inner sweetness and ripe floral-laced orchard fruits. This finishes crisp and squeaky clean with a subtle mineral tinge.
