Reviewed September 2024
The 2012 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet is a power-packed wine with notable tension and balanced acidity. Tasted in late 2024, it feels remarkably complete at this stage, showing more power and depth than the 2012 Alexander Valley Cabernet while also exhibiting a touch more grace in its perfumed floral character and generous, ripe currant fruit. Still youthful, yet beginning to express the savoury nuances that develop with time in bottle, it reveals a subtle medley of tobacco, white pepper, and charcuterie. The blend includes 3% Petit Verdot. (JC)

Notes of dill, herb and vanilla bean–scented oak lead to an elegant array of dark berry, herb, cedar, gravelly earth and underbrush flavors. The tannins cling a bit, but this is an enjoyable and approachable youngster, with a track record for aging. (JL)

Notes

Year after year Silver Oak produces some of the most reliably delicious wine that Napa has to offer. It might not be the most "culty" or the highest rated on someone's 100-point scale, but it is always exactly what you know it to be: rich, powerful, heavily fruited, laced with spicy oak and full of structure but still enjoyable upon release. Perfect for gifts, important client meetings, special dinners and a great mid-term buy for any smart collector, this wine is always a safe and smart decision when looking for higher-end bottling.
