Silver Oak Cellars Debuts Sauvignon Blanc

Silver Oak Cellars, which made its reputation over the last five decades as a top producer of Cabernet Sauvignon, has debuted its first new varietal, Silver Oak Sauvignon Blanc.

This marks a significant evolution for the historic Cabernet house, expanding its portfolio while honoring the same commitment to
quality, site expression, and craftsmanship that has defined the brand since 1972.

Long synonymous with American Cabernet Sauvignon, Silver Oak now brings its winemaking expertise to a new varietal, a Sauvignon Blanc sourced from four estate vineyards across Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Each vineyard contributes a distinct element to the final blend,
reflecting the care, precision, and depth of Silver Oak’s estate viticulture.

What They're Saying: “This is a meaningful moment for Silver Oak,” said Silver Oak Proprietor and Executive Chairman David R. Duncan. “For over 50 years, we have focused on doing one thing exceptionally well. With Sauvignon Blanc, we saw an opportunity to apply that same level of precision and intention to a varietal that feels incredibly relevant today, while staying true to who we are.”

“We set out to make a Sauvignon Blanc that reflects the care and precision people expect from Silver Oak,” said Silver Oak Sauvignon Blanc winemaker Ryan Hodgins. “It’s about restraint, detail, and allowing the vineyards to speak. The result is a wine that feels distinctly Silver Oak
while offering something entirely new.”

On the Nose and Palate: Crafted as a natural extension of Silver Oak’s winemaking philosophy, this Sauvignon Blanc introduces a bright, expressive counterpoint to the winery’s Cabernet program. Aromatic and complex, the wine opens with notes of pineapple, lychee, and citrus blossom, layered with hints of lemongrass, pea shoots, and honeydew melon. On the palate, it is fresh and precise, with flavors of lemon zest and white peach lifted by bright acidity and a refined, lingering finish.
