Connoisseurs' Guide
Another wine that has done exceptionally well with age but is as good now as it ever will be, Silver Oak’s 2002 bottling has settled into very comfortable maturity. It is still explicitly fruity with a supple mouthfeel and lightly firmed by polished tannins, and, while fully ripe, it never overplays ripeness and boasts excellent overall balance. While it will certainly hold up without fading or getting brittle for another half-dozen years, it is inviting, wholly delicious stuff now and we would counsel that it be kept in an accessible place in the cellar where it can be easily reached for enjoying relatively soon.

Family-owned for 50 years, Silver Oak produces Cabernets aged exclusively in American oak. Its exceptional, food-friendly wines are both drinkable upon release and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. Ray Duncan founded Silver Oak with Justin Meyer in 1972, and it’s now owned and operated by Ray’s sons, David and Tim, with a commitment to innovative and sustainable viticulture practices across its vineyard properties, winemaking facilities, tasting rooms and cooperage. Silver Oak Alexander Valley has been called the world's greenest winery by The San Francisco Chronicle. Constructed between 2012-2018 the winery was built around the production of just one wine: Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a staple of restaurant lists nationwide for more than 45 years. Featuring panoramic views of Silver Oak’s 70 acres of prime Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards and surrounding 115-acre estate, the historic property features excellent volcanic soil profiles set amidst the rolling bench lands of Northern Sonoma County.
