Silver Oak, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley 1999

Alexander Valley

Level into neck

Deep black fruit nose and complex spices on the nose. Lovely opulent berries in the mouth - you feel you are munching the fruit. Really beautiful and tempting. Terribly harmonious, with sweet ripeness perfectly balanced by the tannins (both from the American oak and the grapes) and acidity in accord. Scrumptious - and I make no apology for enjoying this young. It cries out for a juicy steak!
