Cabernet Sauvignon is all that Silver Oak Cellars cares about. Always has, even back to the beginning in 1972. Sourcing from top properties to augment their estate vineyards, they produce a Napa, Alexander and single vineyard bottling. That's all. Always critically divisive in a love-it-or-hate-it way, Robert Parker once famously described Silver Oak's Napa as a "hedonistic fleshpot."
