From Alexander Valley, California, Silver Oak 2017 is impressive! Rich and plushy with ripe blackberry, dark plum, dark cherry, savoury herbs, cedar and smoky flavours on the palate. Grapes for this Cab were sourced from the winery's Red Tail, Miraval and Geyserville Estate vineyards and comprises fruit from the region's hillsides, benchlands and valley floor. Aged in American oak barrels produced in Silver Oak's own cooperage.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: prime rib, grilled pork, roast chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

From Alexander Valley, Sonoma County wine region, Silver Oak 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is impressive and expressive. Dry, full-bodied and juicy with layers of dark berry, plum, cherry, olive, mint, toasty oak spice and savoury herbs harmonious and intense on the palate. Aged in American oak barrels produced in Silver Oak's own cooperage. Pour with roast beef dinner. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews
