Crafted by the esteemed winemaker Daniel Baron, the 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of the region’s capability to produce world-class wines.

After the initial blending in early 2020, the wine spent 24 months aging gracefully in American oak barrels from Silver Oak’s own cooperage, The Oak. This meticulous aging process imparts the wine with a refined oak influence, balancing the fruit’s natural vivacity.
