This bottling comes from the rolling hills of Geyserville in Sonoma county. This wine selected from several different vineyards, is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. It was blended from vineyard lots in early 2011 and transferred the wine to 50% new and 50% once-used American oak barrels for aging. It is somewhat backwards at the present. This wine begins with aromas of dill, red bell pepper and cherry tomato on the nose. The palate brings flavors of blackberry, dried herbs, with graphite and coffee. Medium bodied, this is one to enjoy right now. (OB)

The wine from this unusually cool year is a bit diluted on the finish and the acidity is prominent, but it shows off attractive dark plum, blueberry, and smoky aromas and minty dark chocolate and berry flavours. This is the last vintage made with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The fine tannins resolve into a silky finish. (EM)

Aromas of vanilla, mocha, dill and anise impart complex scents, while the flavors fold over to the palate, joining taut dark berry and cherry notes, supported by firm, tight tannins. (JL)

The well priced Alexander Valley from silver oak is a bright velvety wine with generous notes of tobacco,coffee and cassis. Enjoy now to 2020.

Notes

Alexander Valley Cabs are known for their soft tannins and herbaceous notes, and this highly anticipated vintage from Silver Oak is no exception. Winery tasting notes: "Our 2010 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant, elegant expression of this classic appellation from a cooler vintage. It has a deep garnet color and an enticing nose of cassis liqueur, blueberry coulis, tobacco, tarragon and roasting coffee. The seamless palate starts with a berry-laden attack, follows with a full-bodied mid-palate, and ends with a long, savory finish with fine grained, well integrated tannins."
