The best showing yet for a wine from this under-rated vintage
a seamless texture
375 cases made
it has hardly budged in the last six years
With medium to full body as well as more depth than many of its peers
Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1996 (750ml) Size:750ml The best showing yet forThe 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, . 5% Merlot, and 1. 5% Petit Verdot) has a dark ruby plum color and a gorgeous, complex nose of cedar, spice box, cherries, jammy plums and cassis. The wine is fleshy, medium to full bodied, seductive, and filled with glycerin. The finish is all silk. This low acid, big, spicy, lavishly wooded, chewy wine should drink well for another 10 14 years. Robert Parker 91 points
