Dill-licious from all the American oak slathered on top of what is otherwise a decent wine. Some sweet cherry and cocoa cowering underneath the wall of tannins, coconut and dill. Some of the older bottles though…

Always a solid Sonoma cab. Some anise and dark fruit, dark chocolate and anise. Slight bit of dill and vanilla. Drinks young, this could go for a bit longer. Good strong tannins but smooth enough to balance my prime rib.

Tasting Silver Oak at the winery in Alexander Valley. What a treat. The 19 is elegant and nicely balanced. Subtle tannins.

Delightful! Cedar box, crushed roses, light cherry. Paired magically with grilled lobster.

Cedar, vanilla, cassis, blackberry, toast, nice acid. Very soft tannins, nice time to drink.

Not much flavor left with this bottle. Still has tannins on the finish but disappointed the characteristics of Alexander valley are not showing with this cab.

Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 98% Cab Sauv & 2% Merlot, blended then aged for 24 months in 50% new & 50% once-used American oak. Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruit, licorice & minty floral notes. Palate displays rich ripe blackberry & black cherry, hint of sweetness, vivid acidity & the right touch of toasty vanilla oak, still youthful in development. The wine has nicely integrated tannins, still holds some grip on a long finish which should give way to let this wine age for the next decade+. Excellent.
