Silver Oak Cellars, CALFORNIA

In 1972, Silver Oak’s Alexander Valley vineyards produced the harvest that would become their first Cabernet Sauvignon. Seven years later, they harvested the grapes 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 around the world.

In the early 1970’s, Silver Oak was one of the first California wineries to age its wines in American oak rather than French oak. Justin Meyer discovered that American contributed fewer harsh tannins than French oak and had a fresh, spicy character that provided a wonderful complement to his fruit-forward wines. Today, the use of American oak continues to be a hallmark of these distinctive Cabernet Sauvignons.
