Silverado Vineyards
|
|
In the early 1970s, after a long-time romance with the Valley, owners Ron and Diane Miller chose to purchase land and move to Napa's Stags' Leap District. It wasn't long before they'd fallen in love with the quality of the grapes they were growing, and in 1981, began construction of their own winery on the property. Whatever the cost, they decided, Silverado would deliver the best wines the Napa Valley could produce, at a fair price. Since those first days, the winery has acquired three more vineyards and now farms over 300 acres. Silverado produces Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Silverado's winemaking philosophy is rooted in the vineyards. From harvest to bottle, each step in the winemaking process is dedicated to expressing the character of grapes grown on each of the winery's fine properties in the Napa Valley, whether it be Chardonnay grown in Carneros, or Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon. When this choice fruit is delivered to the winery, it is introduced to passionate winemakers who work with only the finest equipment. Winemaker Jack Stuart states, "The wines are determined by the vineyards they come from. Ultimately, it is the quality of these vineyards that has set us apart."

Cabernet Sauvignon
Broad and rich aromas of black cherry, blueberry and sweet oak. Concentrated cassis and blackberry fruit meet licorice and cinnamon spices and vanilla on the palate. Rich, full mouthfeel with superb balance that continues through a lasting finish.

Chardonnay
Toasty ripe apple aromas, with a zippy mineral note. Flavors of fruit cobbler and vanilla, with cinnamon toast following through from aroma. Medium-full body, wonderfully supple through the middle palate, silky and long. Classic structure and gracefulness.
|
Limited Reserve
Deep cassis color; aromas of black currant and plum, clove and chocolate, hints of bay leaf and toast; rich, mouth-filling stone fruit and spice on the palate, with integrated tannins and balanced acidity, full body, dense and concentrated, with a broad, lasting finish.

Merlot
Deep ruby color with Cabernet-like intensity, concentrated aromas of ripe berries, mocha, hazelnut and truffles; medium full body, rich in texture, bright cherry, sweet oak and bay leaf flavors. This wine has great length.

Sangiovese
Deep pomegranate color with cranberry-cherry, violet and pomander in the nose. Flavors of red currant fruit and clove with typical varietal acidity and medium-full body. Persistent finish

Sauvignon Blanc
Bright light yellow hue; pungent and flowery, with aromas of spicy apple, grapefruit and herbs; lively and smooth on the palate, displaying ripe pear and citrus flavors and a complete, unusually rich finish.

Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
Intense and concentrated, with effusive aromas of cassis, candied cherry and black olive. A rich core of dark stone fruit is accented by flavors of clove and chocolate. A wine of refined balance marked by exceptional length. Like all SLD Cabernets, it’s rock soft.
