2018 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
2018 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley The 2018 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby in color with notes of strawberry, fresh carnation, black pepper and vanilla. This wine builds in strength and body across the mid-palate with a blackberry character on the finish and bright cherry return. With integrated tannins, it’s expressive yet luxurious with an even, balanced finish. Given proper cellaring conditions, this wine will continue to improve through 2043. Winemaker.

One of the wines that we have been waiting for with much anticipation is one of the most popular, one of the most collected, a true blue chip iconic wine, the 2018 Silver Oak Napa Cabernet. Silver Oak is the standard bearer for Napa Valley Cab and has been for decades. Every vintage shows the pedigree and outstanding quality that is Silver Oak’s signature. I have Silver Oak’s in my cellar dating in my cellar dating back to the 1980’s and every bottle I have opened has stood the test of time and has been superb. Founded by Raymond Twomey Duncan a businessman and Justin Meyer a winemaker and former Christian Brother in 1972, when they made 1100 cases of Cabernet in a dairy barn. Silver Oak has grown to be one of the most recognizable and desirable Cabernet from Napa today. Because of the greatness of the vintage and the wine being sold out for the last 4 months. Demand is extremely high for this wine. Treat your self and put an Icon in your cellar.
