Silver Oak Cellars, founded in 1972 by Ray Duncan and Justin Meyer, was one of the few serious wineries in Napa 40 years ago. Its earliest Cabernets bore a "North Coast" appellation, suggesting the grapes had been sourced from all over the northern part of the state. It wasn't until 1979 that the winery produced a Napa Cabernet. (A 1977 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet came out before.) And those two Cabernets are the only two wines the winery continues to produce. This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is in more limited availability than the Alexander Valley version. A complex and layered Bordeaux-style blend, this 2018 vintage is nearly 95% Cab with the rest being the usual suspects, Merlot and Cab Franc. Extensive ageing (two years in American oak and an additional two years in bottle before release) results in a wine with beautifully integrated flavors that’s ready to drink now and will stand the test of time.
