2015 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, California, USA

The 2015 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense crimson color. It opens with aromas of black currant and baking spices along with the customary notes of vanilla and coconut. It is a rich, dense wine but shows restraint in extraction and structure and is remarkably approachable for a Cabernet so young. The density is consistent as the wine moves across the palate and it finishes with a tightly wound but persistent and lingering finish. No sediment noted. Enjoy now through 2042.

95.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.7% Merlot, 0.4% Petit Verdot, 0.3% Malbec, 0.3% Cabernet Franc.
