Silver Oak, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2014 It feels like this 2018

It feels like this 2018 vintage is still warming up and is slowly putting on volume and weight

the lack of a new Monfortino might be good or bad news

I like the overall sense of harmony and this should be really lovely in time

Very juicy and flirtatious

it sings of black and red cherry preserves

Silver Oak, Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2014 It feels like this 2018Marked by drought and a warm dry summer, the year had ideal ripening conditions and the shortest harvest season ever. Low yields and small berries translated into a bold, deep coloured Cabernet with less than 5% other Bordeaux varietals. Its a big mouthful of ripe juicy blackberry flavours with spicy aromas and roasted brown sugar notes of American oak aging.
