I realize this, however, I'm trying to compare this vintage to other
Silver Oak wines. Here's what Parker said: "The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley is a medium-bodied, soft, attractive effort with plenty
of herbaceousness along with notes of figs, plums, and red currants.
Made in an up-front style, it begs to be drunk over the next 7-8 years."

I'm hoping to get more opinions on this one and an answer to the
question "Is it worth $54?"

Parker's comments could describe many Cal Cabs in lower price tiers, so
I want to know if I should spend my money elsewhere or here. Thanks.
