Silver Oak 2005 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Silver Oak's new 2005 Alexander Valley Cabernet is a classic.

This Silver Oak is a classic and rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a ruby-red color and an expressive nose of cassis, blueberries, blackberries, soy sauce and vanilla. Silver Oak's vintage 2005 is luscious and full-bodied on the palate and has a long finish of ripe berry fruit, vanilla and a hint of dill. It will continue to improve to 2012, given proper cellaring.

Robert Parker: "The Silver Oak Alexander Valley cuvee is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in new oak... Herbaceous, with sweet red and black currant fruit, spice box, and tell-tale oakiness, this is a wine to drink during its first decade of life."
