"It takes just as long to produce a bottle of Cabernet today as it did in 1972. And that's just fine with Silver Oak, because what matters most is timelessness."

It All Started With a Handshake

Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come.

Ray Twomey Duncan, a Colorado entrepreneur who began investing in California vineyards in the late 1960s, and Justin Meyer, a Christian Brothers-trained winemaker, co-founded Silver Oak out of a Napa Valley dairy barn in 1972, producing only 1,000 cases of their inaugural vintage.

Rooted in Family and Friendship  

Over the next two decades, Silver Oak grew in popularity. Their Napa Valley and Alexander Valley Cabernets sold quickly upon their release from the winery and became a highly sought-after staple on restaurant wine lists nationwide. After selecting Daniel Baron to succeed him as winemaker in 1994, Justin retired, selling his share of Silver Oak to the Duncan family in 2001. Ray's sons, David and Tim Duncan, own and operate the winery to this day.  We are fortunate to have David Duncan as our host for this tasting.  Mr. Duncan will take us on a virtual tour of the Silver Oak winemaking process and be our guide as we enjoy this exceptional selection of Silver Oak wine.

The tasting includes four of Mr. Duncan's hand picked wines (a full bottle of each with your order), paired with a wonderful charcuterie & cheese board creation by Bentwater's Certified Master Chef, Olivier Andreini.
