Aroma: cassis, coconut, oak, vanilla, spice and undergrowth. Perfect! Very old world taste with notes of dark fruits, berry, rasberrries, coffee and peppercorn. Amazing mouth feel with great balance and med acidity. Top value!

A serious over achiever. I'd be curious how many American steakhouse diners could distinguish in a blind tasting this bottle from Silver Oak - Alexander Valley.

2012 is the year to get if you can find it. 2013 is good as well, but 2012 is so much better

Very dark with aromas of dark Berry fruit and spice. On the palate for this 5 grape blend are cherry and plum flavors with oak and herbal spice. Wild acidity with reasonable good balance. Tannins are firm but calmed down after wine was open for a bit. This wine had medium length finish but lacks aging potential. Drink now. Tasting Sample.
