Silver Oak

Bonny's Vineyard 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon

Filed under: Wine

Does the name Justin Meyer ring any bells? At first I didn't recognize its significance either but as I delved more into the story behind Bonny's Vineyard I gasped with realization -- Mr. Meyer was the co-founder of the super Cab of Napa, Silver Oak! For some of you that may not be very exciting but in my household there was a time when Silver Oak was king of the wine cellar for my father. Not only has the Meyer name been attached to this mega-wine but the next generation of Meyer's has recently created a new Cabernet Sauvignon aged in only 100% new American Oak barrels which sustains a 13.19% alcohol. Named for Justin's wife, Bonny, and the vineyard purchased long ago in her name, this wine eases out of the Napa Cab mold with grace while continuing a high-quality family tradition. $135

A while back I wrote about the fire at the Silver Oak winery in Northern California. It had been report that they lost much of their stock of past and current vintages. For a while they weren't selling the well-regarded Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet 2001. They have just found another 15 cases and are selling them over at Porthos. They also unearthed a few big bottles including a $799 quadruple magnum which has already been sold and a pair of double magnums (three liters) which are selling for $399. They are selling the wine on a first come, first sell basis so once its gone, its gone. The standard sized wine is selling for $59.99 per bottle. The wine is described as being a spicy and flavorful Cabernet with notes of oak, cassis and licorice.
