The 1997 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a vibrant and clean, dark red hue. The aromas are likewise still vibrant and alive, with notes of cassis liqueur, mint, crème brûlée molasses and a touch of cigar smoke. The entry is layered and has flavors of violets and juicy berries, along with tannins reminiscent of unsweetened chocolate. On the palate, it’s full of youthful exuberance—broad and dense but with acidity and complex flavors. The tannins are still a bit rough around the edges and lightly grip the palate on its lovely finish. Decanting suggested due to moderate sediment. Enjoy now through 2029. - Winemaker's Notes
Great wine is meant to be savored with family and friends. This belief is at the heart of Silver Oak Cellars, where we have crafted extraordinary Cabernet Sauvignon for over 35 years. Designed to be deliciously drinkable from the day it is released, Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon grows more supple and luxurious over time.
Silver Oak's Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is produced at our picturesque Geyserville estate, set amid the rolling hills of northern Sonoma County.
The Tudor-style estate features a massive flagstone arch that leads to a central courtyard with a fountain. High, arched glass doors open on the tasting room with its rustic stone fireplace. Designed to resemble the American oak barrels that are a signature of Silver Oak, the oak tasting bar is accented with steel barrel hoops. Beautifully etched glass doors highlight the stone-lined wine library next door, which contains an enormous oak barrel carved with the Silver Oak logo.
