Description
MMMM. Wine at its best!
You and your friends will savor this exquisite Cab from the award-winning cellars of Silver Oak.
This 1.5L bottle of 2003 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a taste to treasure.
Silver Oak's 2003 Alexander Valley, a blend of wine from several different vineyards, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Silver Oak blended the vineyard lots in early 2004 and transferred the wine to 50% new and 50% once-used American oak barrels for aging. Blending prior to barreling allowed them to achieve a balance of the wine’s natural elements, such as fruit and tannin, before they are influenced by oak. The wine is then aged in barrel for approximately 25 months and another 15 months in bottle to harmonize its components before release.
Winemaker Daniel Baron describes this wine as an elegant, highly expressive wine that displays great complexity due to the multifaceted climatic conditions of the harvest season.
The wine is dark ruby with a purple to red edge. It displays bright aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, black tea, allspice and ginger. In the mouth, it has a full-bodied attack, a round, balanced mid-palate redolent of cherry preserves, brown sugar and caramel and an extremely long finish of savory ripe fruit.
Properly cellared, this wonderful Silver Oak Cab should give drinking pleasure until 2026.
