Expressive nose with an enjoyable mouthfeel. This is good but there are plenty of other wines that I’d be grabbing over this at this price ($280. CAD).
Second tasting of the night. Aromas of raspberry, blackberry, cassis, and oak. Ripe yet elegant blackberry, cassis, vanilla, and oak. Tight tannins with medium plus acidity and finish. Nice Napa but at this price we can do better.

Expressive, pleasurable nose with all the stuffing you’d expect from Silver Oak; blue and black fruits, cocoa and baking spice. Just enough acidity to keep the fruit in check with plush tannins on the finish. The 2018 Napa is very approachable now but will benefit with another few years.

A couple weeks ago at lunch this was mesmerizing. Here from Coravin, liqueured cherry aromas, some oak to the palate.
