Powerful on the palate
The 2023 Unoaked Chardonnay is blended from several vineyards
one year was not enough to tell the personality of the terroirs
It is a charming timepiece of a traditional Napa winery
A delicate thread of lingonberry preserves adds brightness
2020 Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA loire valley Powerful on the palateA super creamy, delicious and detailed red with oodles of red fruit, silky tannins and a full body. It tastes pure, fresh, almost delicate, offering raspberries, cherry cream, blueberries, cafe au lait and subtle oak toast on the palate. A gentle, layered, pretty wine that seems not at all affected by the wildfire smoke that year. Drinkable now, but best from 2030. james suckling 95 points
