They couldn’t keep a stubborn streak of green stalkiness out of this wine. But that mintiness is just one flavor in a spectrum of cherries, blackberries and spices. Easy drinking. ——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 85

Nice enough, with distinct blackcurrant flavors and good oak integration. Balanced, too, with dry tannins and acidity. The drawback is a sharpness and stubborn herbal streak that probably won’t melt with aging. ——S.H.(6/1/2002)—— 85

Don’t look for Napa-esque depth or richness in South Coast Cabs. The frame is leaner, the flavors more austere. This wine seems thin and sharp, but there’s something about it—a sense of terroir, personality, call it what you will—that’s likable, even complex. It’s a bit aggressive right now, but should soften nicely with 2 or 3 years in the cellar. ——S.H.(12/15/2000)—— 86

Napa denizens won’t lose any sleep over South Coast Cabs, which haven’t managed to find the richness and complexity of their northern cousins. This one’s dominated by currant, oak and berry notes, and has dry, dusty tannins. Ultimately it’s rather simple.——S.H.(7/1/1999)—— 84
