Year in year out, it’s easy to see why Silver Oak remains one of the most popular Cabernet Sauvignons in the world’s top restaurants and at collectors’ home cellars. It’s made in a more restrained style than many other Napa Cabernets today, while always over-delivering with plenty of berry and currant fruit, and that signature...

Silver Oak’s Napa Cabernet always over-delivers with plenty of berry and currant fruit, and that signature depth of new American oak, accompanied by tobacco and herbs. Dazzling, elegant and subtle, all at the same time. Should develop well for a decade or longer. A beautiful showing that you won’t want to miss.

We savored the luscious notes of cocoa, blueberry compote and hints of creamy oak on the silky finish. Prodigious tannins that are well balanced with the aforementioned flavors make this a candidate for Napa’s most age-worthy second label, akin to a fine Bordeaux such as Pauillac de Latour or Le Pavillion Rouge du Margaux.

One of the most exhilarating white wines we’ve tasted this year, the Standard Deviation XL bottling captivates from the beginning with a magical combination of zesty citrus (mainly grapefruit with a dash of lemon cream pie) plus hints of pear, apricot, and even savory cotton candy on the oh-so-refreshing finish. Wow!

This crowd-pleaser features intense aromas of black currents and sultry dark chocolate. On the palate, this muscular Cabernet delivers layer after layer of ripe dark fruit, exotic spice, anise, and a core of minerality that combine to create an exciting, yet balanced, experience. Enjoy now or cellar for 5-7 years.

This prodigious effort from one of Napa’s most popular Cabernet neighborhoods is alluring from the start with prominent plum and sage aromas. The rich and smooth palate boasts power and grace, with a deft array of black cherry coulis and cassis flavors complimented by dusty tannins. Hints of tobacco and dark chocolate carry through to...

The 2018 Teeter-Totter is this rising star winemaker’s best effort yet; a super balance of rich fruit flavors and silky texture. Ripe blackberries and cocoa mingle with fresh acidity and plush tannins. Notes of pipe tobacco and vanilla oak linger pleasantly on the finish.
