In 2009, Quivet selected a prestigious benchland vineyard in the heart of the
Rutherford. Seeking the lush and dusty tannins Rutherford is known for, this
vineyard reached every expectation and more. Sweet blueberry pie, notes of clove
spice with a hint of lavender greet the nose with dense and lush hues of dark
purple garnet in the glass. Blue fruits, notes of vanilla bean and graham continue
throughout the wine with a rush of fruit forward power from the start. Right on
cue, soft and dusty tannins guide the wine into a signature "Mike Smith" finish that
we have grown to love & crave. This is a wine that will drink nicely now but will
continue to smooth and soften of the next 5 years.
