The winery's aging process is a possible factor in the Silver Oak controversy. Unlike just about every other Cabernet made in Napa Valley, Silver Oak is aged in American oak, which adds sweet notes of vanilla and, some even say, coconut. (Silver Oak makes its own barrels.) The more commonly used French oak is far more subtle, with spicy aromas.
Silver Oak的陈酿过程可能是该酒遭到争议的一个因素。与其他所有产自纳帕谷的解百纳不同的是,Silver Oak是在美国橡木桶里陈酿的,从而增加了香草的甜味,有些人甚至会说有椰子味。(Silver Oak自己生产木桶。)更常用的法国橡木桶更精致些,有辛辣香气。
And yet Silver Oak also has a large, and very passionate, following. The winery produces just under 100,000 cases of their two Cabernets annually, and their tasting room has won raves from amateur drinkers and wine professionals alike.
不过Silver Oak也有一大群非常热情的粉丝。Silver Oak的两款解百纳每年产量不到10万箱,而酒庄的品酒室赢得了包括业余和专业人士在内的葡萄酒爱好者的盛赞。
Silver Oak Cellars, founded in 1972 by Ray Duncan and Justin Meyer, was one of the few serious wineries in Napa 40 years ago. Its earliest Cabernets bore a 'North Coast' appellation, suggesting the grapes had been sourced from all over the northern part of the state. It wasn't until 1979 that the winery produced a Napa Cabernet. (A 1977 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet came out before.)
