Spotted Owl 2007 Alexandria's Cuvée Syrah (Mount Veeder)
- $69
This Syrah is hard and tannic now, and it will always be hard and tannic, but it’s quite an impressive wine. So dense and layered, it reveals tiers of complexity with every sip as it airs in the glass. The flavors are of pure, ripe wild blackberries, with currant, coffee and tobacco notes, and sprinkled with crushed black pepper. Drink now–2013.

Spotted Owl 2008 Mountain Cuvee Red (Sonoma Valley)
- $35
A big improvement over the 2007, but still a rather simply constructed wine. It has pleasant berry, cherry, cola and spice flavors, and is easy to drink.

Spotted Owl 2007 Mountain Cuvee Red (Sonoma Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
The texture’s all wrong on this wine, because the ripeness levels and tannins are unbalanced. The cherry and wood flavors have streaks of green and jalapeño pepper, and there’s some funkiness.
