Timeless Napa Valley Red Blend by Silver Oak 2018 750ml

Timeless comes from the family of Silver Oak, owners of sister brands Twomey and Ovid, and it was Silver Oak's first new label in about 20 years. The 2018 was made by winemaker Nate Weis.

The fruit comes from Soda Canyon Ranch in the Vaca Mountains of southeastern Napa, six blocks farmed by the Duncan family. The 2018 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It spent 16 months in French oak with Bordeaux-style racking. It's 14.8% alcohol and sealed with a cork.

Expect dark and bright red fruit, cassis, vanilla and baking spice, with a plush palate, velvety tannins and a smooth, balanced finish.

Against Duckhorn The Discussion, Timeless is a single-vineyard blend and costs a little less; for a plush, Bordeaux-style Napa red from the Silver Oak family, choose Timeless.

It's drinking well now and has many years ahead of it. Serve with grilled steak or lamb.
