Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Review
In 1977 the Duncan-Meyer winery was just staring out and the name just wasn’t hitting. They ended up naming it a hybrid of the location of their property halfway between the Silverado trail and Oakville in Napa Valley — and Silver Oak was born. Today the wine is a bit more expensive than in their early days selling wine for $6 a bottle but the quality has only increased. This wine is leathery with wild berry fruit and a lingering note of tobacco leaf and cedar. It’s seamless on the palate, with a slight tannic grip around the edges.
