 Silver Oak Cellars, Napa Valley, California
In early 1971, Ray Duncan was invited to invest in vineyard property in the Napa Valley. Captivated by its beautiful vistas and open land, Ray bought 750 acres of pastures, orchards, and vineyards. Realizing the excellent growing potential of his recent acquisition he enlisted the aid of Justin Meyer in planting and cultivating the vineyards that would later become the basis for Silver Oak Cellars.
Justin had been a member of the Christian Brothers, where he spent fifteen years learning all aspects of wine production. When he finally decided to leave the order he was in possession of a wealth of experience and a single purpose—to build a winery and make the best Cabernet in the world.
Following the well-established tradition of many French wineries, Justin wanted to create a Cabernet-only winery. The concept was revolutionary in America at the time, and appealed to Ray’s interests and love of adventure. Together the two men built Silver Oak Cellars into one of America’s most renowned wine brands.
Silver Oak Cellars 97
The 1997 Napa Valley is a wine of extraordinary intensity and depth. It has a very dark garnet color and a concentrated nose of cassis, roasting coffee, chocolate, violets and sandalwood. It is extremely rich on the palate, with a full body and a long, fruity intense finish. This Cabernet will continue to improve for 15 to 17 years given proper cellaring.
