The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is not quite as attractive or succulent as the 1993 Merlot. Nevertheless, it is a competent, above average quality Cabernet with lovely cassis fruit, spice, and light tannin. Shooting Star is the less expensive, secondary label of Steele (Jed Steele's middle name is Tecumseh, meaning "born under the sign of a shooting star"). The 1993 offerings reviewed in this issue are an admirable group of modestly priced wines that offer immediate gratification. Tel. (707) 279-0213 (Steele winery)
