DESCRIPTION
It’s the oak” is a promise to strike the right balance between varietal intensity -the true flavor of the grape when harvested -the vanilla, spice, and toasty oak flavors which are imparted from oak aging. The winemaker for Silverstone, who calls his barrel cellar a “spice rack”, has to decide to use which oak barrels, how to ferment the wine and to age it or both, just enough to enhance the flavors of the noble grapes ,without allowing the oak to dominate the true grape character.
TASTE NOTES
