Silver Oak, 1997 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The winery tasting notes say that this wine has great intensity and balance. The balance is good, but it is not an intense wine, it is soft and supple. It has a dark ruby red color. The nose is cassis, and coffee. Nice fruit with lots of berry flavors, medium body and a long, fruity finish. Has softened up quite a bit since release, and will most likely be good for a few more years. We will be drinking this one down soon; I think it is at its peek.
