Silver Oak
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
From a 5 Bordeaux grape blend: 78.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 3.5% Cabernet Franc, 2.3% Petit Verdot & 0.3% Malbec, aged 24 months French oak, 84% new, Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, cedar and floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry and currants with notes of mushroom, herbs, pepper spice and earthy notes. Fine big sweet tannins, long finish ending with cacao, smoky oak, fruit and mineral tang. Very nice, aging well, but time will reward!

Hitting me with a big mushroom nose. Seems fruity at first, then - BAM, mushroom. Wild and unexpected. Some warm wet oak, bruised fruit, and black pepper. Big and fun and will age!

Classy and smooth. Hardly any fruit. Needs to decent. Lots of chocolate. Gorgeous with food. There are maybe choices I’d like more at this price point, but it’s a princely gift.
