A family
business since its inception, Silver Oak is dedicated above
all to making exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon.
Raymond
Twomey Duncan first came to the Napa Valley in the late
1960s, soon realizing the area’s potential. Within
a year, he began purchasing land
throughout the Napa and Alexander Valleys. “You should
never look at vineyard land in the springtime,” he
recalls. “It’s so beautiful you always buy more
than you intend to.”
With
the late Justin Meyer, Ray founded Silver Oak Cellars in
1972 with a single goal: to create a Cabernet Sauvignon
that would be deliciously drinkable upon release, yet worthy
of cellaring for
years to come. Today, Ray and his family continue to carry
that vision forward. Ray’s son Tim began with the
company in 1986 and today serves as Executive Vice President,
responsible for managing sales and marketing strategy. Ray’s
son David serves as the winery’s President, overseeing
production and operations. Together, Tim and David strive
to sustain the tradition of excellence established by Silver
Oak’s founders.
