About Silver Oak Alexander Valley

Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Ah, the elegance of the 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that dances on the palate with notes of red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, iris, vanilla, and clove. Its ruby hue is a visual delight, and the wine’s graceful acidity and lift on the mid-palate are akin to a symphony’s crescendo.

The vintage of 2019 was a year of rejuvenation, with winter rains recharging the soil and filling lakes and reservoirs. A slightly delayed bud break due to cooler spring temperatures was followed by an unexpected rain event just before bloom, setting the stage for a warm summer. The vineyard’s challenge was to manage prolific plant growth and thin the crop for optimal balance.

Summer and fall in Alexander Valley were marked by an average temperature of 85°F, with only three brief heat events during fruit ripening. The fog pattern that characterizes this region played its part, and the harvest, commencing on September 11 and finishing on October 18, was generous. The resulting vintage promises layers of complexity, great depth, and elegant tanninsTannins in Wine Tannins in wine are phen... More.
