Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2010
This jewel offers a flamboyant, showy, and ultra-impressive thrill ride! Full-throttle flavors include crème de cassis, blueberry, Christmas spice with opulent creamy vanilla Oak. The galaxy of flavors on the sultry finish (30 seconds long) is reminiscent of chocolate covered espresso beans deftly integrated into a seamlessly elegant and velvety smooth texture. Thanks to its outstanding purity this Cabernet is approachable now (a consistently alluring characteristic of Silver Oak’s finest vintages) yet is capable of lasting 5 – 7 years minimum.
