{"product_id":"silver-oak-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-1997","title":"Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 1997","description":"This is Silver Oak from the original Oakville dairy-barn winery, and the winery itself calls 1997 a generous vintage. When Silver Oak retasted this Napa Valley Cabernet in February 2021, they found a fleshy, round wine with dense structure and fine tannins that were present but not overbearing. It comes from a rare overlap in the house's history: co-founder Justin Meyer, who started Silver Oak with Ray Duncan in 1972, was still making the wine, and Daniel Baron, the successor he had picked in 1994, was working alongside him. That barn burned in 2006 and the winery was rebuilt on the same ground, so this bottle is a real link to the old Silver Oak. The blend is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, at a moderate 13.9% alcohol, and it carries the American-oak signature that Silver Oak has built everything around. One piece of trivia: the name was Bonny Meyer's idea, because the barn sat halfway between Oakville and the Silverado Trail. If you only know Silver Oak from current releases, this is a chance to taste the house style with real age on it.","brand":"Private [PRI]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44125566205987,"sku":"SF-A-HDH1026-110226-19-3","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Silver-Oak-Cabernet-Sauvignon-Napa-Valley-1997-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1793746307","url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/silver-oak-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-1997","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
