Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1997 (750ml) 1967 with a touch of fruitiness

with a touch of fruitiness and mineral notes

it might actually outlast the 1990

as well as abundant and fine bubbles

at least from an aromatic perspective

this beauty can be drunk now or cellared for 20 years or more

Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1997 (750ml) 1967 with a touch of fruitinessThe 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley is a dense purple color with boisterous, sweet, spicy, new oak, licorice, and olive notes. This flamboyant wine tastes lighter than I would have expected for a 1997. In the mouth, it reveals medium body, sweet jammy cherry fruit, and a soft finish. It needs to be drunk over the next 7 8 years. By the way, the Alexander Valley cuvees are always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Robert Parker 89 points
