May Wine Review (Even though it is June)

Silver Oak

Cabernet Sauvingon

2003

Price: $65.00

A friend of mine, Dan, is my wine expert. If I need a good $10 bottle he will tell me what to buy. If I need a good $100.00 bottle he is also the guy. It is good to have a friend like him. So, Enrique and I celebrated our fifth anniversary and Dan bought us this bottle to celebrate. When he gave us this bottle he said, “this wine is ready to drink, don’t let it sit through the summer.” Well we didn’t. It ended up that he and his wife had dinner with us when we opened this lovely delight.

Review: This wine is everything I could ask for in a wine. The best description I could give is “mature.” It tasted like a blend of rich berries with a nice finish. No acidity at all. When I drank it I couldn’t swallow it immediately because it was so good. I had to let it sit for a fews seconds. It was a full bodied wine (It did not dissipate from the tongue very easily). The aftertaste was a delight. I was shocked when the bottle was finished and thought that I could drink this stuff all night. I am still thinking about how it was perfect.

If you can spend the money pick up this bottle of wine immediately.
