About Silver Oak Cellars

Silver Oak has long been a staple on steakhouse wine lists and among expense-account diners. These high-prestige, fashionable wines are generally medium-bodied and smooth, with exotic suggestions of bourbon, cocoa butter and chocolate from the American oak barrels in which they are aged for 30 months or longer. Silver Oak's wines were once difficult to obtain, but production, especially of the Alexander Valley bottling, is now quite large.

Rated: 90 by Connoisseurs' Guide, Oct 07
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines
Even with a slight green bean note in the nose, this wine has proven to be a solid performer over time and has developed a seamless mix of ripe cherries and vanillin oak in both nose and flavor. Its supple, rounded entry and smooth passage across the palate signal a wine that is nearing its peak stage of development, but there are no signs of "give up" here and another five years of rewarding drinking is entirely likely. $40 and one star when first reviewed.
