Winemaker's Notes:

Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Ripe jammy fruit and cola aromas with hints of dried herbs. Medium to full body with cherry, raspberry and mineral flavors. Lively acidity leads to a fruity and persistent finish.

About Silverado Vineyards:

The Stags Leap District is one of the smallest, yet most renowned, wine growing regions in Napa Valley. Here, Silverado Vineyards has been quietly producing world-class wines from their state-of-the-art winery for over 20 years. With grapes sourced almost entirely from Silverado's family-owned estate vineyards, these hand-crafted wines are created in small lots with extreme care. They express richness, elegance and age-worthiness. Silverado wines are unique, one-of-a-kind blends of location, philosophy and winemaking style.

The Mediterranean-style stone winery, established in 1981, stands on a knoll above the Silverado Trail in the heart of the Stags Leap District. Silverado is a legendary name from the early mining days. Today it symbolizes the Miller family's long term commitment to the future of Napa Valley wine.
