A Bold and Refined Alexander Valley Cabernet – Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Tasting Experience
Silver Oak 2021 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a lush foundation of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe raspberry, complemented by cedar, vanilla, and clove. On the palate, the wine is rich yet graceful, with velvety fruit, firm structure, and notes of dark plum, graphite, and gentle baking spice. The mid-palate is broad and polished, supported by silky tannins and bright acidity. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lasting impression of oak, black fruit, and subtle spice.
Craftsmanship
This wine is crafted from fruit grown in Silver Oak’s Alexander Valley estate vineyard, using precision viticulture to maintain balanced ripeness. After harvest, the blend (96% Cabernet Sauvignon, with small percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot) is assembled before aging. The wine then spends 24 months in American oak barrels (about half new), adding depth and structure without overpowering the fruit. The result is a Cabernet that’s both powerful and beautifully integrated, reflecting decades of winemaking expertise.
Best Enjoyed
Decant for 60–90 minutes to allow its aromas and flavors to fully unfurl. Perfect alongside grilled ribeye, slow-roasted lamb, wild mushrooms, or aged cheese such as Gruyère or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Experience the layered sophistication, vineyard-driven power, and polished oak richness of Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 on Royal Batch – a signature expression for Cabernet lovers and wine collectors.
