Winemaker Aaron Pott has turned out two superb 2010 Petite Syrahs for Quixote. I imagine most people associate Stags' Leap with top-flight Cabernet Sauvignon, but this is one of the handful of enclaves in Napa Valley where Petite Syrah can be just as compelling. Proprietor Carl Doumani essentially carved out what is Quixote today when he sold Stags' Leap Winery to Beringer in the late 1990s. Quixote is an eccentric operation, with a winery designed by famed Viennese architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser and equally colorful bottles. The wines are fabulous.
