1985 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

$229.99
about this wine:
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is drawn predominantly from their three Alexander Valley estate vineyards and reflects a blend of their characteristics. The rich cassis and berry flavors of wines from the Miraval vineyard are balanced by the bright, black cherry aromas and firm acidity of wines from Red Tail vineyard. The serpentine soils of the Geyserville vineyard yield wines with a black-pepper spiciness that adds zest to the final blend.

Smooth, rich and harmonious, with layers of vibrant currant, blackberry, plum and a trace of earthiness that adds a nice dimension. The fruit flavors are still youthful and the tannins are softening, making this a treat at age 20.--1985 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2009. 19,900 cases made. -JL
