2017 TIMELESS NAPA VALLEY (3L)

Be the first! A single vineyard, proprietary red blend crafted by Silver Oak winemaker Nate Weis. Be the first to get your hands on the inaugural release, coming September 1, 2020.

WINEMAKER NOTES

The first vintage of Timeless Napa Valley is a harmonious wine that deftly balances elegant integration of both high acidity and supple fruit to create a wine with age worthy structure and character.

Neither location nor variety can be overlooked when tasting this wine. Notes of pomegranate and cherry signify the ever-present diurnal shift at the property while aromas of wisteria, licorice and mint indicate attention paid to each block and their individually timed harvests. Carried by essences of rose, plum and tart red fruit, a mouthwatering ripple of bright acidity meets balancing, savory flavors of minty balsam, licorice and stewed black fruits. The dichotomy of plush, ripe fruit that still maintains high acidity is a rare result of the long growing season and multiple-pass harvesting techniques.

Once fermented and blended, the 2017 vintage rested in French oak barrels for 16 months. This time is marked by flavors of black pepper, cacao, cozy mulling spices and velvety tannins. Integrated with that of the oak barrels, natural grape tannins provide firm grip and complex flavors on the palate.

SILVER OAK

For over 40 years, Silver Oak has produced delicious, distinctive and food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the Napa Valley. It takes them just as long to produce a bottle of Cabernet today as it did in 1972. And that's just fine with Silver Oak, because what matters most is timelessness.

The estimated fair market value is $924
