Winery

Part of Silver Oak Wine Cellars

We craft Cabernet for gathering the people you love and celebrating the wins. Our wines are ready to be enjoyed the day you bring it home and memorable long after the glasses are cleared. Because we focus on the details, the experience in your glass is confidently, consistently Silver Oak.

Our signature is singular—Cabernet Sauvignon aged exclusively in 100% American oak—so what you taste is unmistakably Silver Oak: vivid fruit, smooth structure, and a lingering finish. We farm 19 premier estate vineyards and own our cooperage in Missouri, selecting white oak, seasoning staves, and toasting barrels to our specs. That stewardship allows us to age each vintage until it’s truly ready to share.
