March 8, 2012 - Still going strong. Black, ripe fruits with herbal/garrigue/cedar nose, full bodied, strong but not overpowering tannins, long, lush finnish. Such a great value.

November 1, 2008 - Excellent, possibly better now compared to a year ago. Needed 1-2 hours of decanting.

October 3, 2007 - Aroma: Initially potent blueberry and black fruit aromas with velvety backdrop; opened up after 30-45 minutes into a wonderfully complex bouquet of oak and cedar, vanilla, cherry, blackberry, leather, and smoke. Exceptional aromatic balance for a young Cabernet.
Flavor: Solid fresh blackberry and luscious raspberry straight away, with smoky, tannic mid-palate and lengthy, velvety aftertaste; fairly complex flavor profile that kept changing as the wine sat in my glass.
General impression: Delicious, well-balanced (I would say "poised") combination of rich fruit, smooth tannins, vigorous but controlled acidity...very nice indeed. -

April 15, 2007 - Outstanding bottle of wine. This is declassified Silver Oak (Alexander Valley). If this is the wine that did not make the cut at Silver Oak, I am very anxious to see what the "real" bottles are going to taste like when they get bottled in a couple of years. Very nice fruits, good spice, enough tannin to suggest that this could lay down in your cellar for at least a few years.
