Tasting Notes:  Red currant, Plum, Oak, Herbs

Silver Oak, started in 1972, produces stellar Cabernet from their Alexander Valley vineyards. A critical reason for the success of this wine, and every wine they make, has always been that they create the final blend before aging it in American oak barrels and then bottles. Over the course of four-and-a-half years, the wine’s flavors, aromas, and textures have an opportunity to meld with one another and the wood’s delicate qualities to create the kind of graceful cohesion found only in the world's most elegant wines.

Powerful, dry, full bodied, wonderfully balanced, and complex with great depth, grippy tannins, juicy acidity and a long, beautiful finish. The harmonious palate features classic California Cabernet Sauvignon flavors of black and red fruit, oak, vanilla, leather, earth, tobacco, herbs, clove, and smoke. Pair it with a lightly-seasoned, grilled ribeye.
