Sonoma's Benchmark, at Full Maturity
Silver Oak built its name on one thing: Alexander Valley Cabernet, aged in American oak, released only when ready — and then built to go the distance. The 2000 has had 26 years to get where it's going: the fruit has deepened to cassis and black cherry, the American oak has melted into cedar and cocoa, and the tannins have gone velvet. This is library Cabernet for the collector or the milestone dinner. Browse more Cabernet Sauvignon, explore red wine, or see the Silver Oak collection at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Nose: black cherry, cassis, cedar, dark fruit. Palate: complex — dark fruit, cocoa, velvety tannins, sweet American oak. Finish: long and lingering, power and grace in balance.
How to Enjoy
Decant 30–45 minutes and serve at 60–65°F in a large Bordeaux glass. Pair with ribeye, lamb chops, short ribs or aged Gouda. At 26 years, drink sooner than later — it's in its window now.
