Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon | 14.6% ABV | 750 mL | Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA | American Oak-Aged | Estate & Partner-Grown Grapes

Process & Profile

Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from estate and partner vineyards throughout the Alexander Valley AVA. The fruit is destemmed, fermented, and aged exclusively in American oak barrels crafted at Silver Oak’s own cooperage — a hallmark of the winery’s identity. Maturation includes a mix of new and once-used barrels to balance structure, vanilla sweetness, and aromatic cedar. The result is a polished, fruit-driven Cabernet with the richness and aging potential Silver Oak wines are known for.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, vanilla, cedar, and subtle spice.
Palate: Ripe black cherry, cassis, and plum supported by sweet American oak, toasted vanilla, and baking spice.
Finish: Smooth and lingering with soft tannins, dark fruit, oak spice, and a hint of cocoa.

What Makes It Special

• Crafted from Alexander Valley AVA vineyards known for warm days, cool nights, and gravelly soils ideal for Cabernet.

• Aged exclusively in American oak from Silver Oak’s own cooperage for a signature cedar-vanilla profile.

• Combines ripe California fruit with refined structure for immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.

• Reliable year-to-year consistency while still expressing vintage character.

How to Enjoy

Serve at 60–65°F in a large Cabernet or Bordeaux glass to fully open the aromatics. Decanting for 30–45 minutes softens tannins and enhances layers of oak and fruit. Excellent with ribeye, lamb chops, short ribs, truffle dishes, aged Gouda, or herb-roasted vegetables. As it opens, expect deepening notes of cherry, vanilla, and cedar.
