2007 Park Lane Winery Cabernet Sauvignon

A vegetal palate, green pepper, tobacco, some eucaplyptus, but most of all, just unripe “green,” all flavored with enough wood treatment to call it an “oaksident.” Tannins are slightly rough. The finish is tart, bordering on sour. Not recommended.

   I’m curious about this word “oaksident”. I’ve never seen it before — and I am a wine lexicographer. Please explain.
