Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1990 (750ml) Toro and pain grillé

and pain grillé

is wide ranging and value-oriented from top to bottom

There is good mid-palate fat and a touch of minerality that adds interest to the solidly precise and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a dusty and naturally sweet finish

after which it will last for two decades

and scorched earth notes are subtle

Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1990 (750ml) Toro and pain grilléThe 1990 Napa Cabernet exhibits a Graves like bouquet of tobacco, cassis, minerals, and spice. Chewy and full bodied, with stunning extraction of fruit, this velvety wine should drink well for 12 15 years. This wine, first reviewed in issue #89, is repeated to remind readers that the 1990 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley and Napa cuvee, as well as the 1989 Bonny's Vineyard Cabernet have finally been released.
