The next in what has become a list of mind-boggling deals in the wine world, is the Trevor Jones Cabernet-Merlot. The wine sells elsewhere for $30 and that's not a bad deal, so $10 is off the charts. The wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot and sees a mixture of new and seasoned French oak. The nose has elements of plum, cherry, cedar, tobacco, earth and sandlewood. On the palate, the wine shows the developed character of an older wine with soft tannins, but still good acidity, giving the wine a juicy mouthfeel. At 13% ABV this is not... Read More »

This brand new wine exhibits aromas of raspberry, blackberry, mint and black cherries. Vanilla and short bread cookie notes from oak aging bring balance and frame the ripe berry flavors. The tannins are fine and chalky, and there is also a mineral/earthy note to the wine that contributes to the multi-layer characteristics. A classic Napa Valley Cab and at a ridiculously fair price!

Since all the way back to 1972 Silver Oak has been bottling Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley.
