Silver Oak, 1997 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

To start off, this wine is exceptional. We had a bottle with our friends Bob and Terry over the 4th of July holiday. This wine has mellowed since its release but maintained its depth. It has a very dark color, pleasing nose. Lots of fruit, with well balanced tannins. The winery says it will age well thru 2023, but I think it is at the peak now. The last six go this year.
