Silver Oak Cabernet, a Never-to-be-Repeated Bottling of Oakville Terroir

When Lot #86 came up at the Premiere Napa Valley Auction – a rare, one-time bottling from Silver Oak's acclaimed Oakville estate – we didn't hesitate. We pounced. And today we’re proud to bring you the bounty.

For those unfamiliar with PNV, think of it as Napa's ultimate showcase, where legendary producers craft unique, never-to-be-repeated wines that aim to capture something special about their particular patch of that acclaimed terroir. These are true unicorns – wines that exist solely in their moment, never to be made again.

This particular lot speaks eloquently of Oakville, one of Napa's most prestigious addresses. These hallowed soils, renowned for producing wines of both opulence and definition, have yielded something remarkable here. Despite 2020's challenges throughout the valley, Oakville triumphed – the wines, Decanter noted, are "perfumed, elegant, light on their feet with good fruit concentration, and show poise and balance."

Silver Oak's 2020 PNV offering unfolds with the precision of a Swiss watch, revealing layers of sun-blessed cherry and wild bramble fruit, along with a gentle spice character. What will keep you reaching for another sip, another pour, another glass is the richness and softness of the mid-palate, which segues seamlessly into the long, savory finish. Even in a region known for producing some of the world's finest Cabernets, this one stands apart – a wine that manages to be both powerful and graceful, immediate yet clearly built for the long haul.

This is a rare opportunity to claim a piece of Silver Oak history – a singular expression of Oakville terroir that will never be replicated. Secure your bottles today!
