Cellar for up to 11 years. No need to decant before serving. One of Napa’s most famous names, Silverado Vineyards is located in the legendary Stags Leap District which is home to so many of California's top producers. The estate was founded in 1981 by Ron and Diane Miller and Diane’s mother Lillian Disney who chose to name the property after a nearby abandoned silver mining town. Today the estate is run by the third and fourth generations of the family who continue to specialise in sensational Cabernet Sauvignon grown on one of the Valley’s finest terroirs. Their Estate Grown Cabernet was recently selected as one of the best Cabernets by Wine & Spirits magazine and is regularly awarded 90+ point scores by the likes of Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling. Fruit is sourced from Silverado’s vineyards in both Stag’s Leap District and Coombsville with a small amount of Merlot and Cabernet Franc blended in to add complexity and character. In the winery the fruit carefully sorted and vinified with the young wine aged in 48% new French oak barrels for 18 months. This lengthy maturation adds polish and sophistication to this extremely ageworthy Cabernet, bringing subtle notes of cigar box spice and woodsmoke to compliment the luscious dark berry notes and hints of sweet tobacco. Firm tannins and a robust full body will help this wine to age beautifully over the next decade or so, although it can also be enjoyed now alongside a hearty beef stew, pasta served with a rich ragu sauce or even barbecued meats.
