Silver Oak Alexander Cabernet 1.5L

Broke this out for a dinner party and the 1.5L size meant nobody went thirsty—the raspberry note came through beautifully with the vanilla on the finish.

The 1.5L bottle is a great value for a dinner party, and the raspberry note really comes through on the finish. It's smooth enough to sip on its own but holds up nicely with a steak.

That black currant and orange zest combo is exactly what I look for in a Cab, and the vanilla finish ties it together perfectly. The 1.5L size means I don't have to open a new bottle every night, which is a nice bonus. Already planning to order another.
