Karen & Matthew Meyer, winemakers

Matthew Meyer, son of Silver Oak founder Justin Meyer, has established his reputation making full throttle Napa Cabernet from the iconic Bonny's Vineyard (named after his mother) following the Silver Oak regimen of American Oak ageing. First released in 2008, the Fluffy Billows bottling departs from this tradition by using 100% French Oak and the results are amazing.

Elegant nose of black currants, violets, minerals and wet stones. Lush fruit flavors of black cherry and plum with a touch of anise are muscular, but polished, supple and generous. Ripe, round tannins provide well balanced structure and a lengthy finish that showcases great complexity with notes of vanilla, spring flowers and cedar. One of the best values in Napa Cabernet I have tasted from this noteworthy vintage.
