Let's try a K Vint review without the usual catch phrases. The fruit for The Beautiful was sourced from Cougar Hills Vineyard (spitting distance from the original Seven Hills site), is co-fermented Syrah and (5%) Viognier and is aged in (30% new) Burgundy barrels. Charles Smith says, "1st word: Deep. 2nd word: Full. 3rd word: Complex. Final word: Beautiful." At least he didn't say "kick-ass."
