Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1993 (750ml) Rutherglen pure and sweet finish

pure and sweet finish

It will be interesting to see how the 2009 fares against the 2010 after twenty years of aging

despite its mid-weight structure

This delicious effort is best drunk after the meal

I suspect it might smell like this

Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1993 (750ml) Rutherglen pure and sweet finishIn my October tasting both 1993 Cabernets were more tannic and closed than the 1992s. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is one of the more tannic and backward wines I have tasted from Silver Oak. Now that it has been bottled, it has closed down, displaying far less lushness and obvious concentration than it did last year. The color remains a healthy dark ruby purple, and the nose offers earthy, toasty new oak, and sweet black fruit aromas.
