Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2012


Region: Alexander Valley, California

Wine.com: 90 points

Vivino app rating: 4.5/5

Average Price: $70

Drinking the Silver Oak Cabernet is a real treat. It is smooth, oaky, and full-bodied. The winemaker states:

Our 2012 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a lively and full-bodied expression of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from an exceptional vintage. It has a lovely garnet color and opens with aromas of black currant, orange zest and raspberry. These aromas are framed by nuanced notes of vanilla, marshmallow and cocoa, eliciting an effect reminiscent of chocolate-covered berries. The attack is rich and gives way to a mid-palate with breadth and depth, supported with refreshing acidity and integrated, dusty tannins. This wine has power with an unusual vitality and structural balance. Given proper cellar conditions, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2034.

This cabernet pairs beautifully with steak, veal, and lamb.

I really like this cabernet a lot, however if you want to speak about price to taste ratio, I think you can easily find a cabernet this awesome for a little less. Don’t get me wrong though; the silver oak cabernet wine is amazing. I would rate this a 4.3/5. Whatever you do, please do not pay a dime over $75 for this wine because if you do, I can promise you that you are getting ripped off. Give this one a try and remember, “Life is a Cabernet!” Salute!
