A while back I wrote about the fire at the Silver Oak winery in Northern California. It had been report that they lost much of their stock of past and current vintages. For a while they weren't selling the well-regarded Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet 2001. They have just found another 15 cases and are selling them over at Porthos. They also unearthed a few big bottles including a $799 quadruple magnum which has already been sold and a pair of double magnums (three liters) which are selling for $399. They are selling the wine on a first come, first sell basis so once its gone, its gone. The standard sized wine is selling for $59.99 per bottle. The wine is described as being a spicy and flavorful Cabernet with notes of oak, cassis and licorice.
