about this wine:

The core of the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Soda Canyon vineyard, a marvelous hillside site with tightly spaced vines planted in rocky, well-drained soils. The lushly flavored wines from this vineyard provide a rich foundation for the Napa blend.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, May 2009

Good deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of cassis, licorice, game, tobacco leaf and subtle brown spices. Velvety-sweet and deep, with hints of tobacco leaf, mint and herbs giving definition to the middle palate. Nicely bright but youthfully tight wine, finishing with broad tannins. Carrying a moderate 13.5% alcohol. Still tight, but then this won't be released until next winter. Incidentally, following Silver Oak's purchase of a vineyard in Soda Canyon in 1999, this wine now relies less on contract fruit.

About Winery

Entrepreneur Raymond Twomey Duncan first visited the Napa Valley in the late 1960s. Taken by the area's rugged beauty, and the potential of its fledgling wine industry, he soon began purchasing orchards, pastures and vineyards throughout the Napa and Alexander Valleys.

Looking for an insider to advise him, Ray approached Justin Meyer in 1972, asking him to plant and manage his vineyards. Then a winemaker for the Christian Brothers, Justin agreed under one condition: In addition to growing grapes, he wanted to create a winery that would forever raise the standards of California wine. Silver Oak Cellars was born.

In 1972, Silver Oak's Alexander Valley vineyards produced the harvest that would become our first Cabernet Sauvignon. Seven years later, grapes were harvested for their first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, now produced as a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals. From the beginning, these two wines have consistently represented the very best of their appellations, attracting a loyal following across the country and around the world.
