2011 was a difficult growing season, right? Silver Oak seems to have overcome that just fine. No disappointment, here. — 10 years ago
Aromas of baked apple, lemon curd, acacia flowers with a real persistent mineral laced accent. Vibrant palate with a fine balance between tension and richness. Mineral flavors with hints of bread dough, lemon peel and pear fruit. Disgorged September 2015 — 8 years ago
Classy. Ripeness but contained. Oak is both subdued and seemlessly integrated. On the nose is explosive fruit, freshness. No secondary aromas detected. On the palate, medium tannins, fine, with great balance. Acidity shines through. Goes on forever -- endless length. — 10 years ago
Excellent mid palate and great structure. Fine, elegant mouthfeel and nicely integrated oak — 10 years ago
For my son's 20th birthday, I think this 19 year old, Australian Cabernet, will be appropriate. It's also going to take care of my Friday's fix nicely...
What a beautiful color on this beauty. Ruby in color with a burgundy rim. Almost showing no age at all.
After an hour in the decanter, fruity nose with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, black currants, leather, oak, vanilla, licorice, light green pepper, smoke and black pepper. Very gentle and aromatic.
Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium plus acidity and awesome looking legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, cloves, licorice, vanilla, cedar, leather, dirt, pencil lead, earth, cola, white pepper and spices.
A very long finish with very fine grained tannins and tart cherries.
What an awesome wine this is. Well-balanced and very enjoyable by itself. So elegant, complex and velvety.
It smells and tastes a lot like a Napa Cabernet, which surprised me a little.
Aged for 15 months in American oak barrels.

2014 was fine for the Valle Isarco. Not as much rain, humidity or trouble from the invasive fly. Great acidity. Super fresh and clean. No botrytis. — 11 years ago
