94 Silver Oak Napa

[winoweenie]

As a matter-of-factly I had that sucker in my room in Vegas and was very enjoyable but still needing 1-3 to really sing. Was humming loudly howm-so-ebberly. The SO Napa needs time just like most of Dehlingers Pinots to show their colors, or for that matter, most top-notch wines from Bordeaux, Rhone, Aussie, and the USofA. As the good Dockitor and I have parried meeny times, wood used by a top winemaker becomes an integral part of the nuances we dearly love with time...TIME!!! Caame out of a tasting of 2000 bordeauxs' at Hi Time with a pucker reminsencent of eating early unripened persimmons from Mr. Andrews trees in Shawnee. Granted, the unjudicious use of the tree in red juice makes for an oak bomb along the way regardless of how long it's aged.WW
