Sabina Vineyards 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Cellar Selection

Price $100

To call this a big Cab would be an understatement. It’s a black-colored, saturated wine that detonates on the palate, offering a blast of black and red berries, currants, cassis, dark unsweetened chocolate, anise and fine, upscale new oak. But the tannins are fierce. Very fine, among the best St. Helena Cabernets of the vintage. Needs time. 2012–2020. — S.H. (3/1/2010)

Sabina Vineyards 2008 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Price $100

Showing the tannins this estate bottling is known for, this is quite astringent despite the fabulous wealth of fruit flavors, which include ripe blackberries, sweet cherries, savory currants and anise liqueur, with a hint of Provençal herbs. Despite the hardness, this shows elegance and opulence that put it into the top ranks. Drink now–2016, at the very least. — S.H. (11/1/2012)

Sabina Vineyards 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)

Online Exclusive

Price $75

From the start this has superb tannins and fine acidity that frame the ripe, complex blackberry, black currant and cassis flavors, finishing with elegance and class. It’s hard to resist drinking now, but this should develop over the next eight years. — S.H. (11/1/2012)

Sabina Vineyards 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena)

Price $100

The 2006 vintage of this Cabernet blew me away. This '07 is considerably more difficult to evaluate. Fresh out of the bottle, it’s dry, tannic and raw in acids. The black cherry sour candy and Dr. Pepper cola flavors have an unrelieved toughness. Yet the balance seems to be there for aging. The score is entirely tentative, and could well rise in coming years. But… — S.H. (2/1/2011)
