About the Vineyard
Established in 1972, Silver Oak Cellars is a family-owned California winery dedicated to producing distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon. The Duncan family later founded Twomey Cellars in 1999, which produces Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot. Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for approximately 25 months in American oak barrels, thought to impart less wood tannin than French oak. The winery uses sustainable methods to produce its wine, including reclaimed materials in its buildings and energy efficiency during the fermentation process. Silver Oak and Twomey wines are considered go-to vintages for wine connoisseurs and are eagerly anticipated each year. In 2012, the 2008 Alexander Valley Cabernet was named one of the “Year’s Best Cabernet Sauvignon” from Wine & Spirit Magazine.
