““The Silver Oak style features ripe, fleshy, complex fruit that offers anise, olive, black cherry, spice and vanilla notes and a rich, smooth, polished texture."
-Jim Laube, Wine Spectator
Raymond Twomey Duncan and Justin Meyer began what came to be Silver Oak Cellars in their Napa Valley dairy barn in 1972. The winery focuses on expressing Cabernet Sauvignon through two different AVAs: Napa Valley and Alexander Valley. With state of the art technology, including modified berry sensory analysis during harvest and a contemporary approach to oak aging, Silver Oak is continually evolving. The wines are among the most widely collected and poured in the US, helping the brand to attract vast numbers of devout consumers over the decades. Today, Silver Oak stands as an icon of premium California Cabernet through consistency and quality year in and year out.
Silver Oak's 2016 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a robust and structured wine, showcasing a blend of blackcurrant and black cherry flavors complemented by hints of spice and leather. The wine's medium to full body is enriched by a mineral character and nuanced dried herbs, lending complexity to its profile. With a foundation of fine-grained tannins, this Cabernet is designed for aging, reflecting the winery's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Aged for 24 months in American oak barrels, it promises longevity and richness, characteristic of the bold style Silver Oak is known for. The blend may include other Bordeaux varietals.
