1996 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa
Reviews of 1996 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa
91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
December 2000
The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, .5% Merlot, and 1.5% Petit Verdot) has a dark ruby/plum color and a gorgeous, complex nose of cedar, spice box, cherries, jammy plums and cassis. The wine is fleshy, medium to full-bodied, seductive, and filled with glycerin. The finish is all silk. This low acid, big, spicy, lavishly wooded, chewy wine should drink well for another 10-14 years.

This vintage is showing so much creme de cassis its hard to believe that its silver oak. Amazingly soft, not beating you over the head with oak and tannins, it is probably peaking right now.. |
