This was the winery back in 1998 which moved me to start researching wine in more detail. Relatively speaking, this is still so youthful. Back in the day when Silver Oak didn’t deploy mechanical harvesting at that time. This is just incredible. Still fruit-forward and opulent. Look at the color in the glass - very little visual bricking. Some tertiary notes of leather and herbs. This is a beauty to behold. Drink or hold this vintage. — 10 days ago

So I was making Pinapple Margaritas, and didn't want crappy Tequila so looked up inexpensive but good tequila and found this. Awesome Margaritas and for sipping has a nice almost clove-like flavor. Will drink again! — a month ago

Big juicy, fruit forward powerful black anf blue fruits, jammy, but holds thru the whole palette. Tannins and acid in balance and enough to stand up tonthe alcohol. Baking spices, vanilla, dill bring it all together...i miss American oak.. — 12 days ago

Richly layered with incredible length. Gorgeous fruit with a purity of place. There is some extraction but not overdone. Last night tasted with Aubert UV-SL and Ceritas Occidental also from 2017. Stylistically, the heavier higher alcohol Aubert and the Ceritas couldn't be more different with the Ferren somewhere in the middle. The group was split between the Ferren and Ceritas as the favorite but all agreed that all the wines were excellent. — 20 days ago

Perhaps the food and setting enhanced the experience, but this was gorgeous and in a great drinking window. Beautiful nose and just a touch of sweetness, but not over the top. — 10 days ago

Good shape, despite the age. I was pleasantly surprised. It didn’t taste 8 years old, more like 4-5. One of the better bottles I’ve had, it held up quite well. Probably had a couple more years on it at least. — 18 days ago

Really nice Cab. Started off very fruity, then melted into this lovely spice and well intergraded oak. — 22 days ago
