Day One Notes:
Received a few btls of 2016 Silver Oak Alexander Valley as a gift a while back. Decided to open one. I just don't drink much California Cabernet Sauvignon anymore.
This is a meh example, and appears to be quite overpriced. Pop and pour with light decant for aeration. Astringency gets in the way of the fruit. Will check in on it in a few days to see if anything improves...
The chargrilled steak with caprese salad were tasty, though!

Day Two Notes:
Three days later, this has cleaned up remarkably well. Tasty medium weight black cherry up front with some mid palate spiciness that bodes well for future development...
Early astringency has subsided...
Paired with duck confit hash...
