Colorado entrepreneur Ray Twomey Duncan and winemaker Justin Meyer founded Silver Oak in the Napa Valley in 1972, producing just 1,000 cases of their inaugural vintage. The 2015 Napa Valley red is comprised of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.6% Merlot, 3.6% Cabernet Franc, 2.4% Petit Verdot and 0.4% Malbec. It was aged for 24 months in American oak barrels, 85% of which were new, prior to an additional 20 months in bottle before release. The 2015 vintage was exceptional across California and has both early drinking appeal and excellent potential longevity.
