"The overall structure of the wine could be described as fresh and very approachable." -Winemaker

Extremely enjoyable Zinfandel - big fruit on the nose with blackberry jam predominant.

The 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 1886 is a classic expression of our North St. Helena terroir. This vintage brought us a rich, powerful, dense Cabernet with all the elegance and soft, silky tanin that have always defined our Estate.

"Subdued but pleasing scent of ripe berry jam. Silky textured core of black cherry and berry fruit with a hint of savory herbs. A lively grip of acidity on the finish makes you yearn for another sip. Good, and a solid value." -Prince of Pinot

"This wine builds up its profile in the glass and gives you measured bits of fruit and tannins in an elegant yet complex package. Bravo for the relatively low alcohol level at 12.9%." -PrinceofWine.com

Emanating from the glass is a deep perfume of roasted black cherry, brambly mountain berry, dried flower, orange peel, tobacco, oak and suede.

A very tightly wound, high-strung wine upon bottling, the Star Lane Cabernet has opened itself up into a fresh and striking mouthful that begs both immediate enjoyment and long term cellaring.
