Silverado Vineyards, established in 1981 by the Miller family, is a historic Napa Valley winery that has been producing estate-grown wines for over four decades. The winery takes its name from the abandoned mining town and the vineyard that surrounds it, and was one of the first four in Stags Leap District to plant Cabernet in the 1960s. With six storied vineyards across Napa Valley's top AVAs, comprising over 600 acres, Silverado Vineyards is committed to sustainable farming practices and preserving the land. Under the leadership of winemaker Jon Emmerich and associate winemaker Elena Franceschi, who have been with the winery for 30 and 25 years respectively, Silverado Vineyards continues to build its reputation for producing high-quality, consistent wines that evoke a sense of place.
Upon opening, concentrated aromas of blackberry and dark plum fill the nose. The palate is full-bodied with flavors of dark cherry, boysenberry, and a hint of tobacco. Well-balanced and structured with lingering notes of toasted oak on the long finish.
