2010 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley

91 points

New oak on the nose, and more on the palate -- mint notes also reveal themselves over time, then bell pepper -- my guess it'll reach its sweet spot in 2-3+ years, depending on your preference...

Ripe fruit on both the nose and palate; also some dusty flavors and faint hints of green stems -- still rather primary overall, albeit approachable.
