2021 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon | 3L

currant · tobacco · berry

This is the 3 liter double magnum version of Silver Oak's widely loved Alexander Valley Cabernet bottling, made from fruit grown in Sonoma County's Alexander Valley appellation. The 2021 harvest brought balance and clarity, with a dry winter, cool spring, and gentle summer letting the vines ripen naturally and produce fruit with real depth and vibrancy, the hallmark of this appellation.

Alexander Valley Cabernet tends to be a bit more herbal and fruit forward than the denser, more tannic style you get from Napa Valley. Silver Oak's version leans into that: approachable in its youth, aged with the winery's signature American oak character, and easy to drink across a wide range of occasions rather than needing years in a cellar first.

Warm and inviting, this wine shows notes of red currant, cassis, ripe plum, cardamom, and toffee, with real depth and weight on the palate and a harmonious intensity. It finishes long, and the fine tannins mean it should drink well through 2043 with proper cellaring. The large format bottle and the option to add an engraving make it a strong choice for a milestone gift.
