"It may be criminal to recommend this glorious wine, since it’s a micro-micro-micro-production lot from the nonpareil Jamet imitator, Kelly Wheat. A bit riper than its Côte-Rôtie counterparts, it nonetheless exhibits many a precise layer of dark berry fruit, bacon fat, cracked pepper, tar, and purple violets. As with my other high-end pick, its most seductive aspect may be its round, talc-like tannins, which give this graceful wine a serious heft. From a small parcel in Carneros, this ranks among California’s finest cooler-climate Syrahs."
