Silver Oak was founded in 1972 on a handshake between entrepreneur Ray Twomey Duncan and winemaker Justin Meyer, with a singular focus on crafting age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon aged in American oak. Over the decades, the winery gained a devoted following, with its Napa Valley and Alexander Valley Cabernets becoming fixtures on restaurant wine lists across the country. Now led by the Duncan family, Silver Oak has rebuilt and evolved, setting new standards in sustainability with LEED Platinum-certified wineries designed for net-zero water and energy use. Guided by the philosophy that their finest wines are yet to come, Silver Oak continues to refine its craft with a forward-thinking approach to viticulture and winemaking.
