Made in a ripe style, this Cab bursts with jammy black currant, plum and coffee flavors that finish rich and sweet. But it’s also got a firm texture, with fine-grained tannins and a keen edge of acidity. The result is a balanced and stylish Cab that should hold for at least seven years. ——S.H.(10/1/2006)—— 90

A nice Cab that mingles its polished berry-cherry flavors with earthy tobacco and mocha to make for a dry, very drinkable wine. ——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 87

Good, but disappointing. Blackberry, mint, chocolate and black cherry flavors are pretty, but thin, and the weight on the palate, the way the wine feels, is light and watered down. This absence of depth lets the alcohol and tannins star. It’s obviously well-made, but is not a wine for the cellar.——S.H.(8/1/2003)—— 87

One of the few wines from this cooler Sonoma appellation in our tasting, and a nice one indeed. The aromas differ from the norm; there’s spearmint, licorice gumdrops, herbs and tobacco. Nice and distinctive at all points: clean raspberry fruit, dusty tannins on the finish, and a peppery streak. A few years will bring it together even more.——W.E.(11/1/2000)—— 90

The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon O.F.S. displays an attractive dark ruby color, and a light intensity nose of red and black fruits intermixed with oak and herbs. On the palate, the wine reveals moderate tannin, good richness, medium body, tart acids, and a generous finish. Young but accessible, this wine should drink well for a decade. Tel. (707) 526-9111
