A LARGE SELECTION OF SILVER OAK
"Owner/winemaker Justin Meyer has a simple winemaking philosophy - to make Cabernets that are soft and approachable upon release. Silver Oak is a lavishly-oaked, extroverted, user-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon that is wildly popular ... and why shouldn't it be? The wine is supple, explosively fruity, and delivers copious quantities of American Oak. Critics have argued that the wines do not age particularly well, but that has largely been proven a myth. I doubt they will last as long as Chteau Montelena, Dunn, or other Napa Cabernets with a 30-40 year aging potential, but these wines have a broad window of drinkability, being delicious at release, and able to sustain their fruit and character for 15 or more years."
