An intriguing Syrah-Cab blend from a new, micro-producer in the Capay Valley, a farm region east of the Napa Valley where Laura Barrett, previously of Fisher Vineyards, is making the wines and Ursula Hermacinski, previously of Screaming Eagle, heads up sales and marketing. This first effort is rich and a touch wild, big and still tight, but full of savory sage and forest floor, as well as blackberry and vanilla. Huge potential here. Virginie Boone

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
