"Kräftiges Karmingranat, Ockerreflexe, breiterer Wasserrand. Gereiftes Bukett nach feuchtem Unterholz, petrolige Nuancen, Dörrobst, unattraktiver Duft. Schmeckt wie dreißig Jahre alt. Kurz, zarte Bitternoten, adstringenter Nachhall."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:

"It's easy to see why Silver Oak remains so popular with the restaurant crowd. It's made in a more restrained style than many other Napa Cabs. There's plenty of berry and currant fruit as well as oak, but it's accompanied by tobacco and herbs that give the wine an earthiness. What the wine lacks in dazzle it more than makes up for in elegance and subtlety. Should develop well for at least a decade."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2012 with 89 of 100 points.
"Lots of nice blackberry, cassis, plum and new oak flavors in this dry, tannic Cabernet. It hews to an old-fashioned style, with an earthiness that suggests time in the cellar. Try after 2014."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2011 with 90 of 100 points.
"A good wine, with jammy Cabernet flavors of blackberries, cassis and savory spices. It's fairly low in alcohol, with a brisk, clean scour, but tannic and astringent. Feels immature even at the age of nearly five years, but it should develop. Give it another six years."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2010 with 87 of 100 points.
"Feels old-fashioned in the dry, rugged tannins and herb-infused blackberry and currant flavors. Good, but curiously one-dimensional, which leads to the question of ageability. Hard to tell. Try after 2012."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2009 with 89 of 100 points.
"This medium-bodied Cab might almost come from Alexander Valley, for all its herb-tinged berry-cherry flavors and soft tannins. It's a polished, elegant wine, not particularly concentrated, but with a lovely sheen and a complex finish."
yr. 2011 VertdeVin:
89 - 90 of 100 Points.
"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "Silver Oak Cellars Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon" from the vintage 2011 with 89 - 90 of 100 points.
"The nose is aromatic and racy. It reveals notes of cassis, cassis bud and flowers associated with slight notes of red bell pepper as well as a discreet touch of tobacco and a discreet grilled touch. The palate is fruity, fat, well-balanced, relatively suave, a bit silky and offers small fresh frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and touches of plum associated with a discreet touch of oak, fresh red fruit and a fine touch of coffee. Tannins are fine and integrated. Good length."
