1985 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting conducted February 2021
The 1985 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has a very opaque crimson hue with great depth of color. It is still remarkably precocious with nuanced berry and cassis aromas alongside tobacco, baking spices and vanilla. This wine has a round and lovely entry with a solid fruity core buttressed by notes of blackberry. Its palate shows breadth and depth and transitions to a finish with black licorice flavors, electric acidity and fine tannins framing it. This is a wine with everything in its proper place. Decanting suggested due to heavy sediment. Enjoy now, but this wine might reward a few more years of aging.
Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.1% alcohol
