Silver Oak Napa Valley 1997 is a full-bodied, mature red wine crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with small contributions from other Bordeaux varieties. Known for its commitment to the careful use of new American oak barrels, this wine exhibits a nuanced aromatic profile featuring dark fruit, herbal notes and subtle wood elements. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with well-integrated tannins and a considerable fruit core.

Vinous
(includes 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot) Deep ruby-red, with faint amber at the rim. Deeply pitched aromas of currant, tobacco, mocha, bitter chocolate, game, oak char and cigar box; strong element of sweet roasted wood. Sweeter and richer than the Alexander Valley bottling; has more mid-palate stuffing to buffer its firm spine of acidity. Just a whiff of herbs in the mouth. Finishes quite long, with broad tannins reaching the teeth. Complex and satisfying.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2002
