Description

Silver Oak Cellars has been one of Napa Valley's preeminent Cabernet Sauvignon makers since its first harvest back in 1972. The 1986 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offered tonight has a medium ruby-red color with a sweet nose of blackberry, chocolate and dill. According to Silver Oak's winemaker's notes, this smooth, elegant and balanced Cab has a medium-long fruity finish and is suitable for drinking now through 2010. This crowd-friendly 3-liter bottle size makes it the perfect centerpiece for a very special meal.
