A Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Silver Oak, known for its signature American-oak-driven style. The 2018 is ruby-colored with notes of strawberry, fresh carnation, black pepper, and vanilla, building in body across the mid-palate toward blackberry and a bright cherry finish.
Silver Oak Cellars was co-founded in 1972 by Colorado entrepreneur Ray Duncan and Christian Brothers-trained winemaker Justin Meyer, launching from a converted Napa Valley dairy barn with its debut vintage (case counts vary by source, roughly 1,000-1,600 cases).
The winery, named for its location between Oakville and the Silverado Trail, focused all its resources on a single wine: Cabernet Sauvignon. Daniel Baron succeeded Meyer as winemaker in 1994; Meyer sold his stake to the Duncan family in January 2001, and Ray's sons David and Tim Duncan have owned and operated Silver Oak since, now across two estates in Oakville (Napa Valley) and Healdsburg (Alexander Valley).
Grilled ribeye steak
Silver Oak's classic pairing — the wine's structure and dark fruit stand up to a well-marbled ribeye's char and fat.
Herb-crusted rack of lamb
Lamb's richness and herbal crust echo the wine's black pepper and vanilla notes while its tannin cuts through the fat.
Massaman beef curry (แกงมัสมั่นเนื้อ)
The warm spice, sweetness, and slow-braised beef in massaman echo the Cabernet's vanilla-oak and dark fruit while its mild heat is tame enough not to clash with the wine's tannin.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Silver Oak's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is a classically structured Bordeaux-style blend anchored by 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, with supporting Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The wine displays a medium-full body with medium-high tannins and balanced acidity, delivering dark fruit character—blackcurrant and plum—complemented by cedar and vanilla oak notes.
A food-friendly California red with depth and aging potential, suited to grilled meats, braised beef, and aged cheeses.
