Bid on this bottle of 2008 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (94W&S, 92DC, 91WE). Wine & Spirits: "Like a savory claret pumped up on performance-enhancing California climate, this is nuanced and relatively austere for all its bold, plummy fruit. The supple richness of tannins lends it textural finesse, the quality of Silver Oak that may be most responsible for its legend. The alcohol is finely integrated so as to be imperceptible. Still youthfully floral, this will age with grace." (12/2012)

The 2008 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet opens with alluring currant fruit, black cherry, sandalwood, white pepper, and sage aromatics. Medium-bodied, its assertive, drying tannins envelop the palate before resolving into delicate notes of dried rose petals and lavender. Cigar box nuances dominate the finish. Tasted in 2024, the tannins still need time to soften, but given the wine’s structure, they should evolve beautifully. (JC)
