Quivet Cellars 2006 Las Madres Vineyard Syrah (Carneros)
- $38
Very black and dense, a super-young wine that shows pedigree and promise for development. Impresses for its fine structure of thick tannins and acidity, and the way the lush black currant and chocolate fruit meets the toasty oak. Good now, and should improve for up to four or five years, at least.

Quivet Cellars 2007 Las Madres Vineyard Syrah (Carneros)
- $38
This 100% Syrah is dry and rather aggressive in texture. The black pepper, acidity and tannins combine to make it hard, bitter. There’s a solid core of melted blackberry jam, black currants and dark, unsweetened chocolate, leading to the possibility of ageability. Try cellaring through 2011, then try again.

Quivet Cellars 2007 Kenefick Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
This 100% Cabernet tastes way too oaky. Vanilla cream and caramel dominate the blackberries and black currants, giving it a woody sweetness. The question is, will it age out? The classic answer is that a wine that tastes unbalanced when young most likely always will.
