Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon 
Several exciting events happen around the first of February every year. Of course, there is always Groundhog Day. Even more exciting is the Super Bowl. But the thing that excites us here at the Duke the most is a really red-letter day - RELEASE DAY for Silver Oak 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa! Indeed, February 1 is upon us and our semi-annual celebration of Silver Oak is about to begin! (Semi-annual because the Alexander Valley wine is released in August and we party just as hearty then.)We can go on and on about Silver Oak, but that would be preaching to the choir about what has become America's Wine. Robert Parker tasted, approved, awarded it 92 points, and enthused: "The Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is more limited in availability than the Alexander Valley, but there are now close to 33,000 cases being produced. The 2001 (31,430 cases of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot) offers a big, smoky, herb, black currant, tobacco, spice box, and barbecue spice-scented bouquet, and broad, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, sweet, jammy flavors with plenty of sexy, toasty American oak in the background. It is a hedonistic fleshpot of a wine to drink now and over the next 10-12 years." The Duke is offering the Silver Oak 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa for $99.50 per bottle. Buy 6 or more for $89.99 per bottle. We still have some of the delicious Silver Oak 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander available! A bargain at $59.50 per bottle, you can buy 6 or more for just $55.00 each. Twomey 2002 Merlot (RP 94), Silver Oak's sister wine, is also still available. The compliments from Mr. Parker included, ". . . An exotic perfume of pepper, herbs, black cherries, plums, and raspberries is accompanied by an exciting texture, a plush, fleshy palate, and a concentrated, long heady, moderately tannic finish. This wine should improve over the next 2-3 years and last for 10-14. Very impressive! This is a top-flight single-vineyard wine aged completely in French oak. . .." The price is $65.00 per bottle with a special price of $58.50 per bottle when you purchase 6 or more. Duke's email special: Buy a mixed 6-pack, 2 of each of these three wines, for $407.00 or choose 3 of each of the Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignons for $435.00!! P. S. Large format bottlings are available. Please call for details and pricing. Note: Prices are good through February 28, 2006, or while our supplies last and may be changed at any time without notice.
