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 impressiveโnever 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.
๐ท You want California Cabernet luxury without the Napa pretense or cult wine hunting.
Pairs with: Grilled ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs, Aged cheddar, Dark chocolate tart
