producer background

Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends, Ray Twomey Duncan and Justin Meyer, with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. In 2001 Justin retired selling his share to the Duncan family and Silver Oak in now owned and operated by Ray’s sons, David and Tim Duncan. Silver Oak Alexander Valley is the world’s first winery to achieve LEED Platinum for building, design and construction. The 2017 vintage was the jubilant, inaugural vintage for the new state-of-the-art facility

2017 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

About Product

Deep, dark ruby color with purple hints at the rim. Vanilla notes overlay intense red-plum & black-cherry aromas. The palate initially shows fine, dusty & velvety-smooth tannins. Fresh acid lifts redcurrant & red-cherry fruit from behind the tannin. Darker blackcurrant, prune & licorice notes open on the mid-palate. A mid to full bodied structure is rounded out by warming alcohol. Licorice & red-fruit combine on a long finish.
