A very nice bottle of Silver Oak Napa with a bit of a "hard landing". Starts off with the classic dark red fruits super well-balanced with earth and rock. The nose is lackluster. Finishes with not much of anything except bluntness, NICE bluntness, but still blunt.

Good balance and the structure is holding strong but it is really lacking in flavor for me. It's like underneath the great structure there is very little juice left. Maybe it's past it's peak?

A bit underwhelmed, didn’t live up to its hype. Excellent wine but not the best out there. Drank this bottle at my retirement and daughter’s graduation party.

Drank on Thanksgiving; really good but could have easily gone a few more years before opening
