#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/brick rim.

Very complex nose with cedar, black fruits and vegetables.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with great complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee, chocolates, black pepper, black tea, bell pepper, Indian spices and vegetables.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 26 year old Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking very nicely now, although might be past its prime.

Feels like an aged Left Bank Bordeaux.

Loved the nose here, but needed an hour of airtime to open up. After 3 hours of airtime, more vegetable and earth notes show up.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

Out of Jeroboam. Pleasurable green charred bell pepper. Starting to feel age- but tasting great. Medium bodied red fruit. Elegant toast. — 4 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, cherries, licorice, oak, sweet raspberries, light vanilla, coffee, tobacco, green pepper, dirt, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Full bodied and rich, with medium plus acidity and great looking legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, bell pepper, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, bitter herbs, vegetables, asparagus, spices and peppercorn.

Medium finish with firm, angular tannins, bitter herbs and black pepper.

A great Spanish Monastrell. This silver label from Juan Gil, is great by itself, but better with BBQ Meats.

A little bitter on the finish and slightly unbalanced right now, but I really enjoyed it for its complexity. Still young, and needs another couple of years to come to its own.

100% Monastrell grapes from old vines, grown on limestone and rocky gravel, that produce low yields. Aged in mostly French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume. — 8 years ago

Really good. Hasn’t evolved much since we last tasted it. On the nose, notes of crisp green apples and green bell peppers. Palate is balanced and soft. Finishes with butterscotch and precise oak treatment. The is a poster child for understated chard. — 5 years ago

What you would expect from Silver Oak. On the nose, green bell pepper, mint, rose, and cherry. On the palate, sour cherry, strawberry, green bell pepper, medium plus tannins, but still very smooth. #lifeisacabernet #winelife #napavalleycabs #bigredwines — 8 years ago
