Item Description
A heartfelt thank you to Jack and Loraine Stuart for their personal donation of these two outstanding bottles of Silverado Cab from their Stag's Leap District vineyard.
From the website:
"On land that has supported vines since the 1880s, our
vineyard was the third property planted to Cabernet
Sauvignon in what became the Stags Leap District,
and fruit from this property helped establish the
area’s reputation in the 1970s. SOLO is produced
entirely from grapes grown in this vineyard, which
stretches across the rocky terraces and gentle slopes
between the Silverado Trail and the Napa River. It
displays all the ripe and complex fruit, supple texture,
and solid structure that helped define the district as
the most distinctive Cabernet-growing region in the
Napa Valley."
2008 Silverado Vineyards SOLO - Cabernet Sauvignon: Stags Leap District
Tasting Notes:
Elegant, like a well tailored suit, defined by good structure and balance. Aromas of plum, raspberry and black cherry with earth and herb notes in the background. Medium body with lush but not overripe fruit on broad mid-palate. Balanced acidity and good structure typical of great Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon.
2009 Silverado Vineyards SOLO - Cabernet Sauvignon: Stags Leap District
Tasting Notes:
WE 95 Pts - Cellar Selection! - According to Wine Enthusiast - In a good vintage, which 2009 was, Silverado’s Solo bottling is always worthy of aging. It would be a tragedy to open this 100% Cabernet before 2018, and even then it might be too early. Dry and full bodied, this offers complex blackberry and cassis flavors, with a grounding herbal quality suggestive of sage. The tannins are profound, making the wine tight now.
Tasting Notes - Sweet spices, dried herb, and crunchy red fuji apple aromas with a layer of lightly toasted oak. Full bodied with a strong balanced core of delicious.
