Founded in 1972 by Ray Duncan and Justin Meyer, Silver Oak has built its name on producing age-worthy, American oak-matured Cabernets, shaping a distinct Californian identity. The 1997 Silver Oak Napa Valley is a blend of 93%Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petite Verdot, capturing the richness of an outstanding vintage. The nose is immediately expressive, with layers of ripe cherry, cassis, and dried rose petals, lifted by hints of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of black pepper. The palate is structured yet generous, with supple tannins framing its lush dark fruit core, while subtle spice and a lingering savoury edge add depth. Silver Oak’s unwavering focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and commitment to sustainability are evident here, with the wine showing remarkable balance and the potential to evolve beautifully through 2030 and beyond.
90 Vinous
(includes 5% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot) Deep ruby-red, with faint amber at the rim. Deeply pitched aromas of currant, tobacco, mocha, bitter chocolate, game, oak char and cigar box; strong element of sweet roasted wood. Sweeter and richer than the Alexander Valley bottling; has more mid-palate stuffing to buffer its firm spine of acidity. Just a whiff of herbs in the mouth. Finishes quite long, with broad tannins reaching the teeth. Complex and satisfying.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2002
