Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1985
For a special intimate family dinner we opened a birth year wine from our cellar for the occasion - Silver Oak from the 1985 vintage.
Linda prepared surf and turf - grilled steaks, mussels, lobster tails and sockeye salmon.
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1985
While showing showing character of age, this is still approachable and luscious with dark garnet color, slight rust colored bricking on the rim, medium bodied, tangy oak predominates from start to finish on the nose and flavors accenting cherry fruit layered over dusty herbal and green pepper notes with black cherry, leather and forest floor, and hints of cassis on a tangy tongue coating oaky finish.
RM 89 points.
