Silver Oak, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2013 (92-94)/2023+

(92-94)/2023+

(a 50/50 blend of Craipillot and La Perrière

powerful and intensely stony flavors that culminate in an explosive finish with the same vaguely saline quality as the Bienvenues

yet the almost delicate mouthfeel is highly appealing

Silver Oak, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2013 (92-94)/2023+Marked by drought and a warm dry summer, the year had ideal ripening conditions and the shortest harvest season ever. Low yields and small berries translated into a bold, deep coloured Cabernet with less than 5% other Bordeaux varietals. Its a big mouthful of ripe juicy blackberry flavours with spicy aromas and roasted brown sugar notes of American oak aging.
