1998 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml

$69.99

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.

Wine Spectator, November 2009

Fading but still complex, with vibrant anise, smoked herb, dried currant and sage notes. Full-bodied, with dry, gritty tannins, this is a bit hollow midpalate.--1998 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now. 50,000 cases made. -JL

About Winery

Entrepreneur Raymond Twomey Duncan first visited the Napa Valley in the late 1960s. Taken by the area's rugged beauty, and the potential of its fledgling wine industry, he soon began purchasing orchards, pastures and vineyards throughout the Napa and Alexander Valleys.

Looking for an insider to advise him, Ray approached Justin Meyer in 1972, asking him to plant and manage his vineyards. Then a winemaker for the Christian Brothers, Justin agreed under one condition: In addition to growing grapes, he wanted to create a winery that would forever raise the standards of California wine. Silver Oak Cellars was born.

In 1972, Silver Oak's Alexander Valley vineyards produced the harvest that would become our first Cabernet Sauvignon. Seven years later, grapes were harvested for their first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, now produced as a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals. From the beginning, these two wines have consistently represented the very best of their appellations, attracting a loyal following across the country and around the world.
