سيلفر أوك كابيرنت ساوفيجنون 2006، وادي نابا

The black pepper and earthy notes really come through, making it more savory than a typical cab. Paired perfectly with a grilled steak last weekend, and the finish lingered beautifully.

That deep ruby color is exactly what I was hoping for, and the savory earth notes with a touch of black pepper make it perfect for a grilled steak. It’s drinking beautifully right now, with a nice balance of fruit and those earthy undertones.

The nose is pure Napa earth and cracked pepper, exactly what I look for in a Cabernet. That deep ruby color hinted at the structure, and it held up beautifully over two hours. Popped it for a quiet dinner and it was worth the wait.
