Vanilla-kissed Alexander Valley cab hits its stride at thirteen years.
Vanilla oak married beautifully with blackberry core. Dill spice threads through mid-palate alongside developing leather notes. Cocoa dust finish lingers. American oak signature without overwhelming fruit. Drinking perfectly now - tertiary complexity emerging while maintaining Alexander Valley power. Classic Silver Oak execution.
