Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

2007 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2007 vintage is a remarkable expression of this iconic varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of the Alexander Valley. With its deep, ruby-red color, this wine offers an inviting appearance that hints at the richness within. On the palate, it is full-bodied, delivering a wonderful balance of bold flavors and a luscious mouthfeel. The acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the vibrancy of the fruit without overpowering the overall experience. Prominent fruit intensity showcases luscious notes of blackcurrant and dark cherry, complemented by subtle hints of cedar and spice that add complexity. The tannins are structured and firm, providing a solid backbone that supports the wine's luxurious profile. This Cabernet Sauvignon is dry, making it versatile for food pairings, and it finishes with remarkable elegance, leaving a lasting impression of sophistication.

Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
