2018 Silverado Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Winemaker Notes: This approachable Cabernet offers aromas of blackberry crisp and exhibits flavors of cherry, clove, and a hint of dark chocolate. Full bodied and smooth with a lingering finish.
in 1981, Rob and Diane Miller and her mother, Lillian Disney, established Silverado Vineyards to make wines from the historic sites of their estate. The winery takes its name from the historic vineyard that surrounds it. That vineyard borrowed its name from the abandoned mining town at the top of Napa Valley. Here, over a century ago, Robert Louis Stevenson stayed and wrote, "The beginning of vine planting is liek the beginning of mining for precious metals: the winegrower also 'prospects.'"
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Tasting Panel - "With some Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Caber- net Franc blended in, this standup Cabernet Sauvignon aged 17 months in primarily French oak, seeing some Hungarian and American oak as well. Sourced from the winery’s estate vineyards (Mt. George, Silverado, and Oakville Station), the fruit yielded tight-fisted tannins of coffee and plum skin that hold this superbly structured, concentrated, and elegant red together. Chewy, with earthy undertones and depth defined by dark chocolate and black olive. "
Wilfred Wong - " The 2018 Silverado Vineyards Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon is rich yet not overpowering. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of sandalwood, black fruit, licorice, and oak. Pair it with a steak salad."
