Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Description

Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards representing a range of geographies and microclimates throughout Napa Valley. Since 1999, Soda Canyon Ranch has served as our wine’s backbone, often accompanied by fruit from our Jump Rock Vineyard, as well as Navone Vineyard, a partner grower of more than 40 years. Soda Canyon Ranch’s dependability and versatility stems from its unique location at the intersection of four sub-AVAs: Atlas Peak, Oak Knoll District, Stags Leap District and Coombsville. This site boasts a diversity of volcanic soil formations, ranging from rocky, shallow deposits where Cabernet Sauvignon thrives to more fertile, clay-bearing soils that nurture Merlot. Fruit from this site provides a “chewy” textural component to the blend. The Atlas Peak and Oak Knoll District AVAs house vineyards that also play critical parts in the blend. Recent vintages have even furthered our explorations of the valley, yielding small amounts of incredible fruit from the hills above Rutherford, Diamond Mountain, and Mt. Veeder with promising results. -Winery
