red plum and five spice
freshly turned earth and a whiff of black cherry
lemon rind and passion fruit
focused and solidly persistent finale
this golden flagship is a blend of 2012
Silver Oak, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2020 red plum and five spiceA super creamy, delicious and detailed red with oodles of red fruit, silky tannins and a full body. It tastes pure, fresh, almost delicate, offering raspberries, cherry cream, blueberries, cafe au lait and subtle oak toast on the palate. A gentle, layered, pretty wine that seems not at all affected by the wildfire smoke that year. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.
