The Wine


Our Winemaker and Quivet partner, Mike Smith, has always had a passion for fine wine and decided to move to Napa Valley and pursue his career in winemaking.

He started as an Assistant Winemaker for Thomas Rivers Brown and helped produce the premium wines of Maybach Family, Outpost, Rivers-Marie, and his own label Myriad Cellars. Mike branched out on his own in 2006 and now makes wine for several premium wineries in Napa Valley. Quivet Cellars is custom crushed along side these great wines at the Tench Winery in Oakville, California.


Cabernet Sauvignon

95 Points Lisa Perrotti Brown. Deep garnet-purple colored, it pops from the glass with bold notes of black cherries and warm cassis, giving way to nuances of Chinese five spice, mint tea, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate delivers a firm, grainy texture and lively line to frame the generous black fruit, finishing long and spicy.






2023 Quivet Cellars Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Shiverick Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml St. Helena AVA, Napa Valley

98 Points Lisa Perrotti Brown, 98 Points IWR, 97-99 Points Jeb Dunnuck: The 2023 Beckstoffer Las Piedras 'Shiverick Reserve' is a stellar wine that showcases an enticing aromatic profile with ripe dark currants, black cherries, and blueberries that mingle with delicate notes of fresh violets, exotic spices, graphite, dark chocolate, with hints of dried tobacco and roasted coffee that create a captivating bouquet which bursts from the glass. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure, with exceptional depth and concentration. The wine's luxurious texture carries through to a remarkably long and opulent finish, harmoniously tying all its elements together. This exceptional release from Quivet Cellars is already extremely impressive, yet it promises a long and rewarding evolution ahead that could extend over the two decades.

2024 Quivet Cellars Project X Cabernet Sauvignon 3 Pack

The 2024 Project X is a collaboration between two phenomenal wine makers, Mike Smith and Russel Bevan, using the singularly best Cabernet Sauvignon barrel from both Quivet and Lerner Project. It has a dark purple hue and a wildly concentrated and complex bouquet that showcases blackberries, dark plums, and blueberries, harmoniously complemented by notes of graphite, dark chocolate, crushed violets, and exotic spices that leap from the glass. Full-bodied richness, it combines purity and intensity with bold flavors of black currants and blueberries, accented by subtle hints of espresso, dark chocolate, and sweet spices. Its beautifully polished structure is bolstered by hyper velvety tannins that impart both strength and elegance. The finish is long, luxurious and decadent, lingering with impressions of dark fruits, graphite, and exotic spices, enhancing the wine's overall complexity and allure.
