Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018 is a classic expression from one of Napa’s most iconic producers, renowned for its unwavering focus on Cabernet. Crafted exclusively from select vineyards in the Napa Valley, the 2018 vintage reflects a season of steady warmth and ripe fruit development, tempered by measured yields and thoughtful vineyard management.

The wine is aged in 100% new American oak sourced from Silver Oak’s own cooperage, and follows the house style of extended maturation before release. Built to endure, the 2018 bottling embodies the winery’s long-standing tradition of consistency and craftsmanship. It is released only after it achieves the balance and structure that Silver Oak demands, ready to be cellared and enjoyed over the long term as its layers of complexity unfold.
Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 pours a deep, saturated ruby with the kind of brightness that signals both intensity and balance. The nose is inviting, layered with dark berries, cassis, and plum, lifted by hints of fresh herbs, cigar box, and sweet baking spice from its American oak. On the palate it is generous and structured, showing ripe blackberry and cherry wrapped in supple tannins and accented by vanilla, cocoa, and a trace of cedar. The texture is polished and harmonious, carrying into a long finish that lingers with fruit, spice, and a touch of earth.
This is a Cabernet built for the table. It finds its perfect partner in a grilled ribeye or New York strip steak, where the char and marbling resonate with the wine’s depth. Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic echoes its herbal lift, while braised short ribs or beef stew draw out its richness. For a more refined pairing, duck breast with a cherry reduction or venison with juniper works beautifully. On the cheese board, aged cheddar or a firm Gouda accentuate its savory spice, while dark chocolate desserts underline its lingering cocoa finish. Silver Oak 2018 is equally at home in an elegant dinner setting or as the centerpiece of a celebratory meal.

Silver Oak Cellars

Silver Oak Cellars is a family-owned, California winery with a renowned reputation for its singular focus on producing only Cabernet Sauvignon. The brand was established in 1972 by Ray Duncan and winemaker Justin Meyer with a vision to devote all their resources to a single wine, aged exclusively in American oak. This unique approach, which was unconventional at the time, has become a defining characteristic of the brand.

The brand's identity is built on a few core principles. First is its unwavering commitment to Cabernet Sauvignon, which it produces from two distinct appellations: Napa Valley and Alexander Valley. Second is the brand's pioneering use of American oak barrels for aging its wines. The barrels are crafted to their precise specifications at their own cooperage, a move that gives them complete control over this critical part of the winemaking process. This aging imparts a signature rich and textured profile to the wines.

The brand has become a benchmark for collectible California Cabernet. The wines are known for being elegant, approachable upon release, yet also having the structure to age gracefully. Over the years, Silver Oak has built a devoted following and a strong mailing list, and it is a leading player in the premium Cabernet Sauvignon market. In recent years, the company has also expanded its portfolio to include other brands, such as Twomey Cellars, which focuses on Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, but the core Silver Oak brand remains committed to its original vision of producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.
