Aromas and flavours of black and blue fruits are complemented by ripe plum, blueberry and subtle spice, leading to a smooth, polished palate with balanced weight and a lingering finish. Crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, this sophisticated red offers excellent ageing potential through 2042 under proper cellaring conditions.

A super creamy, delicious and detailed red with oodles of red fruit, silky tannins and a full body. It tastes pure, fresh, almost delicate, offering raspberries, cherry cream, blueberries, cafe au lait and subtle oak toast on the palate. A gentle, layered, pretty wine that seems not at all affected by the wildfire smoke that year. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

Simply remarkable. Perfumed rose petals and currant fruit lead the way, complemented by coriander seed, apricot pit, orange zest and white pepper. It features firm yet already well-integrated tannins that frame a beautifully balanced, effortlessly drinkable wine. There’s no drying tannin on the finish, defying expectations. Instead, it remains true to Silver Oak’s signature style: well built, consistent and impressively composed. What a feat. The blend includes 14.8% Merlot, 1.8% Petit Verdot, 1.4% Cabernet Franc and 0.4% Malbec

It has a ripe, rich, layered, yet elegant wine. It has a dark, ruby color and a complex nose of cassis jam, mocha, violets and nutmeg.

Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon artfully combines the classic elegance of the old world and the ripe fruit of California. It displays an opaque garnet color with a bouquet driven by fruity aromas of blackberry liqueur and hoisin sauce. It also offers the savory components of sage and molasses. These complex aromatics are complemented by sandalwood and nutmeg characteristics indicative of American oak aging. This is a well-structured wine with a compact and rich mid-palate buttressed by silky tannins and generous acidity. Given proper cellaring, this wine will provide drinking pleasure through 2037.

Shaped by cool marine mornings and luminous, dry days, Napa Valley’s patchwork of mountains, benchlands and valley floor is a timeless home for Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a place where purity of fruit meets natural structure—hallmarks that have defined the region for generations. 

For nearly 30 years, we’ve hand-picked 100% of the fruit for our Napa Valley Cabernet from within the growing region. At the heart of it is Soda Canyon Ranch, the backbone of our Napa Cab and a guiding thread in its character year after year.
