Stay calm…

Must have more Quivet SB to hog. Husband rarely gets much. Has anyone tasted the 2013?

3

In for sure. Ready for a few boxes of Mike Smith syrahs to show up on my doorstep.

4

The 2012 SB was outstanding and went down rather quickly in the TX heat. No reason to not think that the 2013 will be just as good and as good a quaffer. Price point holding steady and it represents tremendous value IMNSHO.

The syrahs are meh. Better not buy any of them.

5

Good advice. :slight_smile:

6

I’m buying whatever they’ll give me!!!

7

Just got the email this morning, and I am excited to see what I’m allocated.

I want some of the Syrah but may have to pass for this release due to too much of Mike’s other wine we just purchased. I will be in for the cabs later in the year though.

10

I love the SB’s and will definitely purchase more. I’m curious how do the Quivet Syrahs differ (if at all) from the Myriad? (I know the Kenifick is a different vineyard; the Las Madras a different block?) Do most people find it worthwhile to buy both? (Obviously, not much of the 2011 in evidence anyway.)

Just as a note for people, don’t overlook the sauvignon blanc.

It’s really well structured.

15

Got mine in too.
best 40 dollar syrah anywhere. [cheers.gif]

First let me second the quality of the SB. I opened some last night in preparation for this release and wow, what a wine, at least the 2012 rendition.

My problem is I just can’t buy all the Syrah’s. I need to pick just one.

17

Get all the Kenefick you can and leave the Las Madres to…me.
Wish list gotta be filled!

:slight_smile:

18

I buy the Quivet Cabs but I’ve never purchased the Syrahs…but still received an offer today in the first waive. Didn’t expect that.

Difference between the Myriad and Quivet Syrahs?

19

I think the Myriad have a bit more in the acidity department. The Quivet LM(to me) is much more balanced and etheral. To my taste, I always prefer the Quivet.

Thanks Mike. I’m a fan of etheral.
