That wine consistently sells between $70 and $100 in its first year of release.
When I see it for less than $70, I usually buy it. Now that Justine Meyer has
died and his partner wants to take the winery in a different direction, you
might buy it and savor it 10 years from now when Silver Oak is only a
memory of a fine winery.
