Winemaker- Tasting conducted February 2021

The 2008 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby hue with excellent translucency and clarity. It shows very ripe aromas like blackberry syrup and dark fruits mixed with dried ginger and floral notes. There is still plenty of baby fat on this wine, and it enters with a big and powerful attack. On the palate, there are very interesting graphite and pencil lead flavors with very good oak integration. Its tannins are softening and the fruity core is still quite primary. This wine finishes with balance and moderate intensity. No sediment noted. Enjoy now through 2034.

Composition: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 14.1% alcohol
