  Pnp, drank without food. Medium bodied, oak, vanilla, black cherries and blackberry. Very fresh, soft tannin. Better than the last one in 2022. I get the feeling this wine is dialed in for a specific price point - a recipe if you will. It's been several years since Silver Oak Napa impressed me like the 94, 96, 97 vintages and this one, while decent and enjoyable doesn't suggest to me that I look for more. Of course, we are currently drinking wine that releases at 2x this $130 price point over this so my palate and likes have evolved. 92-93 on last glass.

  Out of magnum. I agree with other notes. There is significant leather and primary fruit here. It’s a good wine but I’m not sure the price point is justified.

  Had over dinner - paired with strip steaks. Opened bottle 30 min prior to sipping. The nose had significant leather and less fruit than expecting of the 2016. Taste followed suite. The tannins were still present but primary flavors have withdrawn, permitting secondary flavors to be on equal footing. I have another bottle set aside for daughters 21st (in 2037) but I don’t see it drinking better than present.

  S ohľadom na cenovku toto víno je podľa môjho názoru brutálne predražené na to čo ponúka. Jednoduché, bez zložitosti. Aróma ok, ale to má aj Tetra pack víno z obchodu. Piť sa to dá, ale nehľadajte tam nič navyše. Niekedy mám pocit, že obchodníci z kalifornie, nevedia za čo si môžu vypýtať takéto nehorázne peniaze za priemerné víno. Toto ak by bolo z Austrálie cenovka by bola Max 60 $, ak by bolo z Chile Max 35$.Viac ráz nekúpim, bohužiaľ.
