Indulge your senses in the symphony of flavors that is the 2018 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. A treasure poured from the heart of the renowned Silver Oak cellars, this wine is an exquisite embodiment of opulence and finesse, poised to captivate both connoisseurs and neophytes alike.
The visual poetry of this vintage begins with a resplendent ruby hue that dances in the glass.

The story of the 2018 vintage is one of nature's benevolence and meticulous craftsmanship. A sigh of relief greeted this season, a departure from its predecessors. Cooler spring temperatures, akin to a gentle whisper, set the stage for a growing season that was nothing short of perfect. The slow-paced cooperation of climate and earth yielded a generous fruit set, a prelude to the symphony that would be composed in the vineyards.
As the growing season unfolded, the grapes were blessed by the embrace of the Pacific fog layer, nurturing their journey toward optimal maturity. With patience, the moment of harvest arrived, marked by a remarkable abundance of fruit that spoke of the year's exceptional character. The result: a wine that stands as a testament to the harmonious collaboration between nature and nurture, a masterpiece that's both young and yet holds the promise of ages.
