Zinfandel for New Years Eve

Steve and I enjoyed a delicious dinner last night at Luigi's in College Station. We ordered a Zinfandel, but they were out of it. So they substituted a more expensive Zin for the same price. Pretty Cool! We both loved it because of the complexity. With my first sip, there was a deep fruit flavor on the finish. The next sip was spicy on the finish. Overall, we enjoyed this wine through our entire meal. We'll look for it again.

Silver Oak Cabernet - Christmas Eve

I cooked Beef Wellington for our Christmas meal and wanted a great wine. I chose our Silver Oak Cab which was yummy. It was very smooth & full-bodied, perfect for our tenderloin cooked in puff pastry. Loved the fruit and velvety tannins

a little bit about Silver Oak...
Silver Oak Cellars was founded with a dedication to produce only one wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. We have been steadfast to this commitment since 1972.

Winemaker's Notes:
The 2004 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and complex wine that combines subtlety and depth. It has a dark ruby color with a deep red edge and displays aromas of fresh blackberries, violets, cola, nutmeg and licorice. In the mouth, the wine has a juicy attack and offers great expression of fruit and spice on the mid-palate. Its fruit-driven finish is long and elegant.
