Description
2019 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley features a blend of 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, 1.9% Merlot, and 0.4% Petit Verdot. This wine displays aromas of red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, iris, vanilla, and clove, with ruby color and elegant acidity. Flavors of black currant and warm baking spices linger with a deep, fruity finish. Aged in a mix of new and second-use American oak, it presents a muscular yet balanced profile with boysenberry, black currants, rose petals, and toasty oak. Velvety tannins and a long, complex finish with notes of umami and garrigue. It will age beautifully through 2047 with proper cellaring.
