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. The 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. Built on a historic 113-acre property with breathtaking views, the state-of-the-art Alexander Valley winery is the second flagship Silver Oak winery built by the Duncan Family. 

Blend: 94.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4.0% Merlot, 0.5% Petit Verdot, 0.4% Malbec

Is ruby in color with a magenta rim. It has an enticing nose of cassis, blackberry, vanilla, sage and spearmint.
Upon entry, this wine builds from potpourri and bramble to a bright pop of raspberry on the mid-palate.
A juicy finish with chewy tannins and a medium length, it will provide drinking pleasure through 2042 with proper cellaring.
