A Tribute to Ray Duncan
Timeless is Silver Oak proprietor David Duncan's tribute to his father and co-founder Ray Duncan — inspired by "Timeless," the song David co-wrote for Ray's 85th birthday. The wine comes from the family's own Soda Canyon Ranch vineyard in the Vaca Mountains benchlands of Napa Valley, where the Duncan family has farmed for decades. Where Silver Oak's flagship wines are single-varietal Cabernet, Timeless is a blend — built on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot for breadth.
Tasting Notes
Classic Napa depth: dark currant and black cherry with mocha, dried herbs, and French oak spice. The 2020 vintage delivers concentration with a polished, structured finish.
How to Enjoy
Decant 30–60 minutes before serving at cellar temperature. Pair with a ribeye, lamb chops, or aged cheddar — this is a red wine built for red meat. It will also cellar gracefully for a decade or more.
