Tasting Notes

The 2017 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby in color with notes of blackberry, blueberry, roasted coffee beans, coriander and a hint of nutmeg. Smooth upon entry, this wine is broad and plush on the mid-palate. It has an elegant density throughout and a long, generous finish.

96 Points II This is a big upgrade in finesse and clarity to such a popular, premium cabernet from Napa. It shows lots of blackberry, tar, cedar and oak-tree aromas that follow through to a full yet toned palate of fine, integrated tannins and a vivid finish. Owner David Duncan explained that the American oak they use in the wine for aging now comes 100% from their own barrel-making facilities, which tones down the vanilla character in the wine. Really impressive and delicious. It’s a joy to drink now, but can age.
93 Points by Wilfred Wong (Wine.com): The 2017 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon deftly folds ripe fruit and oak into a smooth and delectable experience. This wine shines with red and black fruit aromas and a complimentary oak accent. Enjoy it with the first cut from a prime rib.
