The winery says: "The 2018 Alexander Valley Cabernet is composed of 94.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The final blend was aged for 24 months in American oak barrels from our cooperage. The 2018 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has notes of cassis, caramel, juniper and pomegranate. Lifted and vibrant on the nose, this wine is fresh on the palate with a juicy, fruit-forward core. Its silky mouthfeel will provide drinking pleasure through 2044 given proper cellaring."  

Prima Note: The much-anticipated release of Silver Oak’s 2018 Napa Valley Cab is upon us.  With the release of this benchmark vintage comes a smart new livery and, unfortunately, a new price perhaps more reflective of this property’s status as one of the Napa Valley’s most venerable wines. Silver Oak fans, though, will love the wine!  It’s a true classic with all the polish and finesse of 2018 and all the oomph one expects from the Silver Oak Napa!  Wine arrives tomorrow and we can begin shipping soon after.
