Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Bill Bender

Birth year wines are a tricky thing. We all want them to show well because we are opening them for an occasion. ‘81 North Coast is not a vaunted vintage but this is the the 3rd year in a row I’ve shared a birthday bottle with one of my all time favorite females....and each and every time the ‘81s deliver. Fully mature and delicious. The fruit is still going strong, ripe plum, tobacco, sandalwood and blackberry. Lots of length and silk on silk.

1992 vintage. Garnet color, silky mouthfeel, full bodied. Blackfruit, anise, black pepper notes. Full bodied, long finish, satin smooth.

One of my favorite wines! Great with steak!so smooth with great after taste.

Dense Ruby, browning edges. Blossomed into a lovey bouquet of dark chocolate, black and red fruit, with mellow tannins and lingering finish.

This was the winery back in 1998 which moved me to start researching wine in more detail. Relatively speaking, this is still so youthful. Back in the day when Silver Oak didn’t deploy mechanical harvesting at that time. This is just incredible. Still fruit-forward and opulent. Look at the color in the glass - very little visual bricking. Some tertiary notes of leather and herbs. This is a beauty to behold. Drink or hold this vintage.

Tasting Silver Oak at the winery in Alexander Valley. What a treat. The 19 is elegant and nicely balanced. Subtle tannins.

3L! Hands down the best 84 Alex I’ve had. Soft, bright, very focused. Always spectacular when the American Oak finds its subtle, lingering home at 30+ years.
