ABOUT THE WINE:

In the world of fine wines, true gems are fleeting like a captured, single moment in time. “Legacy” is an unparalleled embodiment of such rarity—a 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from esteemed terroir of the Alexander Valley. A testament to the craft of winemaking, this wine is not merely a bottle but a moment in history, encapsulated. With only 20 cases in existence, this exquisite vintage stands as a beacon of exclusivity. The fruit, handpicked at its zenith, has been transformed into a wine that whispers the secrets of the wine region’s rich, loamy soils and the gentle touch of its sun.

Family-owned for over 50 years, Silver Oak produces Cabernet Sauvignons aged exclusively in American oak. Its exceptional, food-friendly wines are both drinkable upon release and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. Ray Duncan founded Silver Oak with Justin Meyer in 1972, and it’s now owned and operated by Ray’s sons, David and Tim, with a commitment to innovative and sustainable viticulture practices across its vineyard properties, winemaking facilities, tasting rooms and cooperage.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is an artwork of complexity and elegance. Expect an intricate lattice of notes that speak of black currant, cedar and spice with dried strawberry, black pepper and vanilla on the palate—all interwoven to create a symphony for the senses. With a smooth, supple tannin structure, “Legacy” has a finish that is as lingering as the wine is rare, leaving an indelible mark on the palate.
