Silver Oak Alexander Valley, the Softer Silver Oak You Can Open Tonight
Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet is the smooth, supple, earlier drinking sibling to the famous Napa bottling. It shares the same American oak soul in a rounder, more approachable and more affordable form. It is the gift for the Silver Oak fan and the dinner party host. It also suits anyone who wants the recognizable name and a wine that is delicious the moment it is poured.
Silver Oak makes two Cabernets, one from Napa Valley and this one from Alexander Valley in Sonoma. The two are made differently on purpose. The Alexander Valley bottling is nearly all Cabernet, aged for two years in Silver Oaks signature American oak. It uses less new oak than the Napa wine, for a softer, silkier, more savory character with brighter berry fruit. It is the Silver Oak you reach for when you want to open it now rather than wait.
What makes it a great gift:
- The softer, rounder, earlier drinking Silver Oak from Alexander Valley in Sonoma.
- Nearly all Cabernet Sauvignon, aged two years in signature American oak.
- Brighter berry fruit and a silkier texture than the Napa bottling.
- More approachable in price, and ready to drink on release.
- The recognizable Silver Oak name, a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
In the glass it shows bright red and black berry, cherry and plum, with a savory herb and spice note. Vanilla, coconut and sweet baking spice from American oak round out supple tannins and a smooth finish. It is polished and immediately likable, which makes it such an easy gift to give and enjoy. There is no waiting and no fuss, you can open it the night it is unwrapped.
Serve it with steak, lamb or hard cheeses, no cellaring required. It is a natural for a dinner party host, a steak lover, or a housewarming. Add front engraving to the bottle, plus a personalized gift note at checkout.
