April 30, 2026 (Napa Valley, CA) — Silver Oak Cellars, renowned for its American oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon, today announced plans to partner with Reyes Beverage Group (RBG) following RBG’s acquisition of select operations from Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC). The transition of key markets includes Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
“Silver Oak has always taken a long-term view of our vineyards, our wines, and the partners with whom we choose to grow,” said Jared Fix, Chief Executive Officer, Silver Oak Cellars. “As our industry continues to evolve, it’s critical to align with partners who bring long-term vision, operational strength, and a shared commitment to quality. We believe that Reyes Beverage Group’s family-owned approach and track record position them well to represent our wines with the same care and intention that defines how we make them.”
Founded in 1972, Silver Oak has built its reputation on a singular focus: producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Alexander Valley that is approachable upon release and capable of long-term aging. With a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and American oak craftsmanship, the winery continues to define a distinct expression of California Cabernet.
“We are proud to partner with Silver Oak to build on the strong foundation it has established,” said Tom Day, Chief Executive Officer of Reyes Beverage Group. “RBG and Silver Oak share a legacy of excellence, dedication to quality and family-owned values. We look forward to leveraging our expanded capabilities and local market expertise to continue to grow their brands and celebrate more success together.”
