Silver Oak's signature vanilla-dill oak perfectly frames ripe Alexander Valley fruit.
Blackberry liqueur and vanilla bean greet immediately. Dill-scented American oak wraps dark cocoa and leather undertones. Rich, velvety texture carries substantial weight without heaviness. Tannins feel polished yet structured. Extended barrel aging shows - this drinks like liquid silk. Leather and spice linger long. Classic Silver Oak style executed flawlessly. Ready now but will hold another decade easily.
🍷 You want American oak done right - bold but balanced, perfect for special steakhouse dinners.
Pairs with: grilled ribeye with herb butter, braised short ribs, aged cheddar and dark chocolate, wild mushroom risotto
