Restrained and firmly structured, with noticeable tannin is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Out of Sight Vineyard. Possessing a cooler-climate style with deep red and black currant fruit intermixed with tobacco leaf, mint, and spice, this attractive, moderately tannic, firm effort needs 2-3 years of bottle age. It should drink well for 10-15 years. (Release date 6/05) Tel. (707) 963-5711; Fax (707) 963-7518

The least of Flora Springs’ impressive single-vineyard ’02s, a tannic, rather herbacous wine suggesting blackberries, but still a very good wine. It’s bone dry, showing an austerity now that might soften after five or six years. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 88
