Wine guru Robert Parker ordained Silver Oak 2001 with an ÒOutstanding 91 PointsÓ rating, which means collectors of this wine, the #1 Cabernet in America, have been ravenous to add a few cases to their cellars, particularly since the winery stopped selling months ago. Tasting Notes: The 2001 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignons reveal a seductive panoply of spices including cedar wood and plum in addition to a lusty, sweet perfume of cassis, spice box, licorice, and lavender. The wine is a sexy, sensual, broad, flavorful cabernet offering attractive fruit, plenty of ripeness, and a big wallop of American oak. Silver Oak fans dream about it. You may drink it over the next decade.
