Winemaker Mike Smith was in pretty high spirits despite an ill-timed accident during harvest that fortunately turned out to be inconvenient but not too serious. I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted at Quivet this year, especially considering the winery doesn't work with A-list sites yet, with the possible exception of Las Piedras. In that sense, these vineyards are the equivalent of premier crus in Burgundy; still very good and sometimes better than that, but not the very top. Although it may be unfashionable to say so given the grape's lack of popularity in the market, my sneaking suspicion is that Smith's real and most natural talent lies in making Syrah.

This is a fabulous set of wines from Quivet, with plenty of highlights. Winemaker Mike Smith did not want to show his 2011 Cabernets until they have more time in bottle, so I was only able to taste the 2012s. As good as the Quivet Cabernets are, I hope readers will not overlook the Syrahs. They are every bit as compelling.
