Although Silver Oak Cellars requires little introduction, we love the history and the story enough to share it just one more time. And another. Silver Oak is single-minded in the pursuit of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. For 41 years, they have produced delicious and distinctive Cabernets from the Napa Valley and Alexander Valley wineries. Each Cabernet is food-friendly, extensively aged to be drinkable upon release, and perfect for enjoying with friends or family.
When Raymond T. Duncan first visited the Napa Valley in the late 1960s, he was taken by the region's rugged beauty. He was also wise enough to understand the potential of the fledgling wine industry. He began to buy land in both Napa and Alexander Valleys with the goal of planting vineyards. But with his home and business in Colorado and no viticulture expertise of his own, Ray approached Justin Meyer, whom he'd met through mutual friends, and asked him to plant and manage the vineyards. Then working at Christian Brothers, Justin agreed with one condition: in addition to managing the vineyards, he wanted to create a winery that would forever raise the standards of California wine. The year was 1972, and Silver Oak Cellars began.Ray and Justin had a bold and unconventional vision for their winery. Rather than producing six or seven varietals, they would devote all their resources to producing a single wine - Cabernet Sauvignon. What's more, their wine would be a new style of Cabernet Sauvignon, rich and complex, deliciously drinkable from the day it was released, yet worthy of cellaring for years to come. To achieve this end, they committed to an extensive aging program of approximately 25 months in American oak barrels, and 15-20 months of cellaring in bottle.
Twomey Cellars (pronounced too-me) was established in 1999 by the Duncan Family, who have operated the successful Silver Oak Cellars in California since 1972. The Duncan Family started Twomey Cellars to pursue varietals other than Cabernet Sauvignon. Twomey has two wineries; one in Calistoga in the Napa Valley, and one in Healdsburg in the Russian River Valley, and produces Pinot Noir, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Twomey's Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc grapes from their estate vineyards at their wineries in Napa Valley and Russian River Valley.
