Pale and lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty aromas. On the palate flavors of crisp green apple and peach with citrus zest and honey notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and spicy mineral character. Nice! — a month ago
Ruby in color with a wide cloudy reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Nice tangy finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very tasty 7-year-old Rioja Reserva. Elegant and soft.
Showing nice complexity at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Easy drinking and a good food wine.
I had the 2009 a few years ago, and loved it. This one just needs more time in the bottle to mature properly.
A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. Aged for 3 years in used American oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

Deep purple in color; bell pepper, plum, and cherries on the nose; bold tannins; high acidity; tastes like black cherries and cranberries with a long finish with a hint of black pepper at the end. — 21 days ago
Wow, great color and aroma. Very jammy, hits you on the roof of your mouth. — a month ago
Dry, nice acidity, very light (only 12% alcohol), goes great with oysters and fish. And not overly sweet, so good to drink on its own without feeling like you are drinking a desert wine. — 2 months ago

This wine is drinking great. Silver Oak can be pretty tannic, especially the Alexander Valley. 10 years in, that has mellowed and you’re getting some nice fruit and secondary flavors. Chloe V-Day gift. — 7 days ago
