Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Produced by the Duncan Family, Silver Oak 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry, full-bodied and characterful red, rich with cassis, dark cherry, earthy cedar brush and toasty oak spice with a kiss of smoky vanilla creamy and fresh on the palate. Tannins are well-integrated and velvety. A beautiful Napa Valley Cab, refined and elegant, just like the prestigious estate from where the grapes for this vintage were sourced. Drink or hold in cellar to 2040. Silver Oak was founded in 1972 and the American oak barrels this wine was aged in were made at the Duncan Family’s barrel-making facilities. Drink: 2023-2040. Score – 94. (nataliemaclean.com, June 24, 2023)
