Our Vineyards

Our estate vineyards throughout the Napa and Alexander Valleys are ideally situated to provide optimal growing conditions for our Cabernet Sauvignon. We complement this fruit with grapes from top independent growers throughout both appellations, giving our winemaking team the flexibility they need to realize the full potential of each Silver Oak vintage.

The core of the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comes from our Soda Canyon vineyard, a marvelous hillside site with tightly spaced vines planted in rocky, well-drained soils. The lushly flavored wines from this vineyard provide a rich foundation for our Napa blend.

Our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is drawn predominantly from our three Alexander Valley estate vineyards and reflects a blend of their characteristics. The rich cassis and berry flavors of wines from our Miraval vineyard are balanced by the bright, black cherry aromas and firm acidity of wines from our Red Tail vineyard. The serpentine soils of our Geyserville vineyard yield wines with a black-pepper spiciness that adds zest to the final blend.

"Our goal is to be responsible stewards of the land...we expect to be able to farm this land indefinitely."
~Brad Petersen, Alexander Valley Vineyard Manager

“Vineyard management is incredibly scientific, site specific and detail oriented - especially at Silver Oak.”
~ Dave Shein, Napa Valley Vineyard Manager

Our newset vineyard, Jump Rock Ranch, is located to the east of a flat-topped mountain known as the Haystack.
