Item Description

Silver Oak founders-Ray Duncan, an entrepreneur with a sense of adventure, and Justin Meyer, a former winemaker with Christian Brothers-dared to devote every effort toward the pursuit of a single wine, Cabernet Sauvignon. What's more, they resolved to create a wine with a style all its own-not another hard, tannic red wine requiring years of aging to enjoy, but a wine of fully developed flavors and a velvety soft texture on the day it is released for sale.

Silver Oaks Alexander Valley vineyards produced its first vintage with thier 1972 harvest - fifteen tons of hand-picked fruit was produced. A critical reason for the success of this wine, and every wine Silver Oak makes, has always been that they create the final blend before aging it in American oak barrels and then bottles. Over the course of four-and-a-half years, the wine's flavors, aromas, and textures have an opportunity to meld with one another and the wood's delicate qualities to create the kind of graceful cohesion found only in the world's most elegant wines.

This item includes a special tour & tasting for 6 at the Silver Oaks Alexander Valley Winery. Certificate is redeemable Monday through Saturday. Reservations are subject to availability.
