Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2015Cabernet Blends | US Show WS93 $125.00 The 2015 is the most concentrated and robust version of a young Silver Oak that I’ve ever tried. While production is down almost 30%, quality is absolutely through the roof. There is also an extra layer of tannic depth to the wine that will prove to be long lived in the cellar. In short, this is one of the best Silver Oaks in recent memory! Silver Oak will always be Silver Oak, but it has definitely become a bit more nuanced and subtly...FINER. The Duncan family recently acquired the cooperage that makes Silver Oak’s barrels, and subsequently now has more control of every part of the process. Regardless, the ‘15 is FANTASTIC. It will age superbly, especially if you spring for the large formats. Rich, mouthcoating and intense, it’s a “masculine” vintage here in Napa and this delivers big time. We have a small allocation. Get it while we have it! Technical Details
About The ProducerSilver 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. Our 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.
