Silver Oak's signature vanilla-dill embrace meets concentrated blackberry darkness.

Dense blackberry liqueur mingles with signature vanilla-dill oak treatment. Cocoa powder dusts the mid-palate while worn leather adds complexity. American oak integration impressiveโ€”never overwhelming the fruit. Full-bodied yet graceful. Tannins structured but approachable now. Long finish carries dark chocolate and subtle herb notes. Peak drinking 2024-2032. This vintage shows Silver Oak's trademark style refined.
