2018 Silver Oak Napa ?Timeless?

2018 Silver Oak Napa ‘Timeless’

2018 Silver Oak Napa ‘Timeless’ With richness and depth of flavor, the 2018 Timeless Napa Valley is the embodiment of patience and attention to detail. Decades of experience at Soda Canyon Ranch allow winemaker Nate Weis and team to highlight the individual merits of each block. Combining the strongest lots from each resulted in a refined and harmonious bottling.
In 2018, the diurnal shift at Soda Canyon Ranch produced a darker, lusher fruit profile of Cabernet Sauvignon. Simultaneously, the overnight recovery periods resulted in expressive and refined Merlot, giving the wine a pleasant profile of bright, red fruit. With an extended harvest window, the signature, plush density and structure of Petit Verdot is also prevalent in the final blend. Cabernet Franc thrived in 2018 with its predilection for the cooler soils and the climate of blocks 5, 6, 16, 20 and 21—areas we call the Transition Zone and Hardpan Alley. The variety’s floral and tobacco-like aromatics are accentuated, and it’s more aggressive nature for back-end tannins tamed. Winery

Silver Oak with Caymus make the most popular premium Cabernet made today. They are the most collected and loved Cabs made today. I have Silver Oak’s in my cellar dating in my cellar dating back to the 1980’s and every bottle I have opened has stood the test of time and has been superb. Founded by Raymond Twomey Duncan a businessman and Justin Meyer a winemaker and former Christian Brother in 1972, when they made  1100 cases of Cabernet in a dairy barn. Silver Oak has grown to be one of the most recognizable and Desirable Cabernet from California. Absolutely delicious young but will continue to give you great pleasure for many years to come.
