De Loach 2000 O.F.S Cabernet Sauvignon (Russian River Valley)
- $30
A nice Cab that mingles its polished berry-cherry flavors with earthy tobacco and mocha to make for a dry, very drinkable wine.

De Loach 2005 O.F.S Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $30
Almost sweet in pineapple custard, marzipan and butterscotch flavors, and there may even be a bit of residual sugar in this honey-rich Chard. Saved by a crisp backbone of acidity.

De Loach 1997 O.F.S Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $32
Very earthy, barnyardy nose-the kind Burgundians love and dream of. Cherry spice, cola and cassis flavors on the palate. Lots of tannins on the long finish and a fairly high level of acidity. Time is required for full enjoyment of this complex wine.

De Loach 2005 O.F.S Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $38
This is the winery’s top Pinot, Our Finest Stuff. It’s nice and dry, with crisp acidity and firm tannins framing cherry cola flavors, but it’s not particularly complex or ageworthy. Needs greater force, power and concentration for a reserve bottling.

De Loach 2001 O.F.S Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $40
Medium-bodied with moderate tannins, the wine shows hints of cherry and menthol flavors. Toasty and smoky on the finish.

De Loach 2010 O.F.S Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $30
New oak accounts for only 30% of the barrel regimen, but it dominates this Chardonnay, with buttered toast, vanilla and caramel flavors. Fortunately there’s also strong pineapple, Asian pear and apricot fruit, but the oak is too powerful.

De Loach 2000 O.F.S Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $50
After some unusual aromatics described variously by tasters as cheese, brine or shoe polish, this settles down to a lean, angular offering. It shows a tart, slightly bitter profile with sour plum and cranberry flavors, herb and chalk accents. Focused but not rich, it closes a bit narrow and astringent. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

De Loach 2002 O.F.S Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $29
Finely scented, with cherries, raspberries, rose petals and smoky oak, and nicely delicate, dry and light in the mouth. Could use more intensity, though.
