Silver Oak Cellars had its first vintage in 1972, which was their Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1979 they produced their first Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and to this day, these are the only two wines that are produced by Silver Oak Cellars.

Silver Oak wines are developed to be drinkable upon release in every vintage. Not that they don't get better, more supple, more integrated with some cellaring, but they will not disappoint if you choose to pop the cork right away.

This wine, the 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Winemaker Daniel Baron (who has been the winemaker since 1994) says about this vintage:

"The 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines full body and richness with moderate alcohol. It has a garnet color and a nose of cassis liqueur, nutmeg and dark chocolate. On the palate, it has a rich, mouth-coating attack, great expression of fruit, a full-body and beautifully integrated tannins that lead to a long, spicy finish. Given proper cellaring, this wine will give drinking pleasure through 2026."

This same wine can be found online in some stores for upwards of $60! Take advantage of our lowest sale price ever of $49.99, and enjoy this classic and iconic California wine throughout the fall and winter seasons!
