1995 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon: 1500ml
$199.99
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.

The 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley is performing far better after a year of bottle age. This dark ruby/purple-colored, seductive wine offers blazingly intense aromas of cigar box, smoky oak, and jammy black currants with a hint of Provencal herbs. Ripe and full-bodied, with low acidity, and a fleshy, succulent texture, it is a wine to drink over the next 14-15 years.

A touch of dill and coconut from oak give this a unique aromatic and flavor profile and there's plenty of rich, intense, spicy currant, plum and blackberry fruit to stand up to the wood. Hints of anise and cherry flow through on the finish, keeping the fruit in the forefront.--1995 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2012. 41,300 cases made. -JL
