Description

This stunning wine package features two (2) distinctive and sought-after wines. The 2002 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an opulent wine of great depth and concentration. It displays a dark garnet color and aromas of black plum, cassis liqueur, rose petals, nutmeg and sandalwood. On the palate, it offers a mouth-filling texture and a wonderful progression of flavors from berry fruit to tobacco to dark chocolate, culminating in an extraordinary long finish reminiscent of a dark chocolate truffle filled with berry liqueur. Properly cellared, this wine should provide drinking pleasure through 2028.

The 2003 Alexander Valley Silver Oak is 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 has bright aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, black tea, allspice and ginger. In the mouth, it offers 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, it should give drinking pleasure through 2026.
