Oakville Winery 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
This ageworthy Cab merits comparison with some of its far more expensive Oakville neighbors. Dry and balanced, with ultra-refined tannins, it shows complex flavors of creme de cassis, minerals and cedar. Just beautiful. Noteworthy for listing all its ingredients on the back label. Drink now through 2012.

Oakville Winery 2007 Estate Grown & Produced Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- Cellar Selection
- $46
Very ripe and extracted, almost jammy, with primary fruit flavors of blackberries, black cherries, red plums, currants, dark chocolate and spices. Delicious and noble, but kind of immature. Give it 4–6 years to soften and integrate, and it could develop even longer.

Oakville Winery 2008 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $45
A dramatic wine, rich and sweet in blackberry and cassis flavors, with elaborate oak and a reminder of its earthy origins in a salty tang of green olives. Impressive, especially after decanting, even though it’s a little obvious in its appeal.

Oakville Winery 2007 Estate Zinfandel (Oakville)
- $32
Soft and melted and ultraripe in fruity sweetness, almost like a Starbucks drink, this Zin has flavors of chocolate mocha, raspberry purée, cherry liqueur, anise, vanilla and smoky cedar wood. It’s made in the modern Napa style. Drink now.

Oakville Winery 2009 Estate Zinfandel (Oakville)
- $25
This is a candied, jammy Zinfandel. It has that bubblegummy gassiness you sometimes get in Beaujolais, with rich, ripe flavors of raspberries. Give it until late 2011 or early 2012 to calm down.
