The 2013 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has an incredible, inky purple hue. It’s starting to show glimpses of this fantastic vintage and come out of its hibernation with aromas of asphalt being buttressed by plum, black licorice, sandalwood and spiced meats. The entry is massive and creamy with great balance between the structure and richness of the mid-palate. It is consistent in its richness throughout the palate and follows through with a dense core and long finish with fruit flavors—but also some grip, suggesting it has a long life ahead of it. No sediment noted. This wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to improve through 2041.
Composition: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
D94, Decanter
"Savoury notions of pine and undergrowth join lovely dark fruit on the nose, and American oak adds even more aroma by way of vanilla and coconut. The palate is juicy, full, aromatic and ripe, but there's structure to hold that lovely fruit, framing it with firm tannins and alluring perfume. Lovely, elegant and complex, combining Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec."
WW93, Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
"The Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has always been a story of elegance. With the 2013 vintage, the winery has produced one of their best wines to date from this AVA. This wine explodes with alluring and beautiful ripe berries, dried herbs, with an accent of coconut (from the winery's use of American oak). With past vintages, I have found it to be delicious and approachable upon release; this one promises to be one of their longest-lived, and very cellar-worthy. This blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec. (Tasted: July 21, 2017, San Francisco, CA)"

"Pure, rich and firm, with an enticing core of blackberry, black olive, dill and herb flavors, ending with a cedary oak edge. Impressive for the mix of intensity and balance. Drink now through 2032."
