Another majestic beauty from the master craftsmen at Silver Oak, the 2019 Alexander Valley Cabernet blend features opulent dark fruit that will impress longtime devotees plus a silky smooth texture that bodes well for savvy collectors. Deliciously integrated oak** provides an exquisite background to enchanting flavors of crème de cassis, dark plums, baking spices and tantalizing notes of Cohiba cigar. The sultry finish (30 seconds long) features hints of chocolate covered espresso beans and profound tannins positioning this beauty to last 5 – 7 years minimum. Decanting recommended prior to 2025. – July 2023

Silver Oak Winery

Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one
varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring
for decades to come.

Raymond Twomey Duncan, a Colorado entrepreneur who began investing in California
vineyards in the late 1960s, and Justin Meyer, a winemaker and former Christian
Brother, began in a Napa Valley dairy barn in 1972, producing only 1,100 cases of their
inaugural vintage.

Over the next two decades, Silver Oak grew in popularity. Their Napa Valley and
Alexander Valley Cabernets sold quickly upon their release from the winery and became
a sought-after staple on restaurant wine lists around the country. After selecting Daniel
Baron to succeed him as winemaker in 1994, Justin retired, selling his share of Silver
Oak to the Duncan family in 2001. With David R. Duncan serving as President and CEO
and Tim Duncan as Executive Vice President, the Duncan family continues to operate
the winery to this day.

In 2014, Nate Weis joined Silver Oak as only the third winemaker in their 45-year
history. Nate worked side-by-side with Daniel Baron, just as Daniel worked with Justin
Meyer before his retirement. These overlapping tenures ensure the handing down of
their commitment to continuous improvement and the wisdom that their best wines are
still ahead of them.
