The much-anticipated Silver Oak 2021 Napa Valley Cab is upon us. This property’s stature as one of the Napa Valley’s most venerable wineries makes this release one of the most important in years. Silver Oak fans will love the wine as it seems like all of its many hallmark attributes are turned to 11! It’s a true classic with all the polish and finesse of 2021 and all the oomph one expects from the Silver Oak Napa! This Insiders Only price is one of the best out there too but we won’t have it for long.

Decanter, 98 points: Silver Oak’s 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet might well be one of the finest wines they’ve produced. Compact and beautifully poised, it marries generosity of fruit with a firm structural frame and focused aromatics. A panoply of blackberry and warm spice—smoked paprika, cinnamon, tobacco—lifts from the glass, interwoven with black truffle and loamy earth. Full-bodied, with a solid foundation of lengthy tannins buttressing the wine, it’s carried by a firm spine of juicy acidity. Rich oak spices are balanced by graphite minerality, a potpourri of dried flowers, and a chalky-earth finish that lingers. This is undoubtedly set to be one of Silver Oak’s longest-lived wines: ripe and generous enough to enjoy young, yet built on a sturdy foundation that will reward long-term cellaring. 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Malbec are blended before barreling down for 24 months in American oak, of which 85% was new, 15% was once-used, and aged 20 additional months in bottle before release. 

James Suckling, 97 points: Great concentration and gorgeous fruit flavors lead the way in this firmly textured wine from an especially good year. Red and black cherries, black tea and dried blueberries on the palate, backed by rather tight tannins that will need time to soften for ideal drinking. Still firm and lip-smacking in the finish, echoing more dark fruit. Best from 2030.
