Hello 1 own the 2006 Silver Oak Alexander valley Cabernet, to Day is my 81 Birthday i like to open the Bottle can you tell do i have to decant the wine . give me some input

We hope you're doing well. Thank you for choosing to celebrate with Silver Oak. If it's of help, here's more information on decanting: https://silveroak.com/blog/how-to-decant-wine/

Definitely decant

That wine is going to taste great either way. Putting it in the decanter for 30min or so would be good; but I'm not sure if I could wait that long. :-)

All red wines need to be aerated to release the aromas from the tannins. The wine would thank you for the decanter if it could.

Best to decant
