SILVER OAK ALEXANDER CAB SAUV 2018 1.5L

So creamy yet concentrated, offering gorgeous red and black fruit on a silky texture backed by good, agile tannins. Raspberries, cherry cream, blueberries and creme de cassis expand on the palate and linger in the finish. It shows great generosity and fruitiness now, but has the structure to age well.

Fragrant with sweet spice, vanilla and toast, plus blackcurrant, brambly blackberries, florals, resiny herbs and cedar unfolding in the glass. Full-bodied with a fine but firm tannin structure that speaks of longevity, the palate offers up pleasing tart cherry fruit spiced with anise. Silver Oak remains committed to its use of American oak barrels and owns its own cooperage to control the process and improve quality.
