| 1995 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 13.1% Price at time of purchase: $75.00 (Limited availability) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): 100% Cabernet Provided by my beloved brother in law (I've always really liked my brother in law, but he reached "beloved" status when he brought this gem over), this is another in a line of wonderful Cabernets from Silver Oak. If there is another wine that so consistently delivers pleasure at this level, I don't know what it is. Elegant, forward, richly flavored with sweet dark currents, oak, and spice. Beautifully balanced as always, excellent with food, completely ready to drink. Maybe a tinge less powerful than some previous Silver Oaks I've had, but an absolute joy to drink. Now if they or someone else could only make this at about 1/3 the price. - HK 2000-06-10 [Back] |
