Merchant's description

Silver Oak Napa Valley 1986 is a full-bodied, mature red wine crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small proportion of Merlot. The wine demonstrates Silver Oak Cellars` commitment to traditional vinification methods and ageing exclusively in new American oak. The nose reveals notes of blackcurrant, plum and hints of cedar, alongside subtle traces of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, it exhibits a robust structure with well-integrated tannins, leading to a lengthy finish.
