Editorial profile
Silver Oak has built its identity around Cabernet Sauvignon since Justin Meyer made its first vintage in 1972 in a converted dairy barn in Oakville, Napa Valley. For decades the winery's entire production was two single-appellation Cabernets — Alexander Valley and Napa Valley — made at custom-built, LEED Platinum-certified wineries in each valley (the Oakville winery rebuilt after a 2006 fire, the Alexander Valley winery completed in 2018). Only four winemakers have led the cellar in that span: Justin Meyer, Daniel Baron, Nate Weis and, currently, Laura Oskwarek. The site's own shop now also lists Timeless Napa Valley, a proprietary red blend from the estate's Soda Canyon Ranch made as a tribute to co-founder Ray Duncan, and a newly introduced 2025 Sauvignon Blanc — additions beyond the historic two-Cabernet core. Silver Oak's sister brand Twomey is a separate label and is not covered here.
