““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.
The Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2014 is a noteworthy blend that features grapes from both estate and partner vineyards, aged for approximately 24 months in mostly new American oak. Characterized by a dense and structured profile, this wine showcases an opaque color and an aromatic nose of cassis and bright red fruits. On the palate, it reveals flavors of gently mulled plum, black cherry, and raspberry, complemented by herbal and spicy notes of singed sage and black tea. The tannins are lightly dusty, providing a firm backbone. This wine is designed for aging, with the potential to develop further complexity over the next 15–20 years.
