This is the new planting from Mike Sauer (Red Willow) and the first wine to be so designated. It's an impressive debut, almost impenetrably dark, yet still satiny and supple in the mouth. The vines show tight definition, enhanced with a mix of herb, earth and organic funk; give them a few more years and this will probably be one of the best Syrah sites in the state. Paul Gregutt

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
