Quivet Cellars is a new enterprise that involves several business partners and the much-admired winemaker Mike Smith, who previously helped produce wines at such distinguished wineries as Schrader Cellars, Outpost, Maybach Family and Rivers Marie. He trained with Thomas Brown and also has his own label, Myriad Cellars. Quivet makes premium, single-vineyard wines in small quantities generally available only through its mailing list. The name of the company is a reference to Quivet Neck, a seafaring region on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Quivet Cellars sources grapes from such prime vineyards as Beckstoffer Las Piedras and Las Madres Vineyards. The estate makes Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc. Wine Advocate has rated many Quivet wines in the mid to high 90s.
