despite its mid-weight structure

I suspect it might smell like this

blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate

4% natural alcohol (which is not the least bit noticeable in the wine’s flavor profile)

Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1993 (750ml) Rutherglen despite its mid-weight structureIn my October tasting both 1993 Cabernets were more tannic and closed than the 1992s. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is one of the more tannic and backward wines I have tasted from Silver Oak. Now that it has been bottled, it has closed down, displaying far less lushness and obvious concentration than it did last year. The color remains a healthy dark ruby purple, and the nose offers earthy, toasty new oak, and sweet black fruit aromas.
