2016 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

WSI96 Classic California Cab! Elegant aromas, red currants, pencil shavings, sweet cigar box, graphite, hint of cola – and a great mouthfeel, fresh red berries, savory notes, minced meat and herbs, a balanced medium bodied wine – with fine tannins, chocolate and coconut notes on mouth-watering finish. Muscular and delicate. Excellent!
Estate Notes: Deep ruby in color, our 2016 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an opulent wine with notes of cassis, ripe raspberry, toasted coconut and shiitake mushroom. This wine has a rich entry, depth through the mid-palate, great structure without being heavy and exceptional length on the finish. Fresh cherry flavors balanced with floral notes and a subtle hint of black pepper add a beautiful complexity. Plush tannins lend to its ageworthiness. Given proper cellaring conditions, this wine will show beautifully through 2040.
