2006 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley

Bright, full red-ruby. Musky blackberry, tobacco, tar and chocolate on the nose, plus a note of dill. Plum, raspberry and tobacco flavors are intensified by sound acidity, with the musky quality carrying through in the mid-palate. Doesn't have quite enough stuffing to support its fairly serious tannins, though, with the finish showing an increasing dryness with air.
