Tonight, we were invited to dinner at a friend's house for steak. We
contributed:

1995 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
nose: dill, subtle oak, cassis
palate: medium body, integrated oak, firm cassis fruit, acid

I have never been a big fan of Silver Oak, but did buy this wine at
release. Having read notes in Cellartracker that sounded like this had
reached a good state, I decided to bring this along as a steak wine and
it didn't disappoint. Our non-winegeeky friends greatly appreciated
this wine. We toasted the memory of Justin Meyer with this great
testament to his skill.
