Wine Spectator, December 1996

This shows that you don't need high extraction or massive amounts of fruit. You need balance, and this wine's got it. The currant, anise and cherry flavors are youthful, with supple tannins and fine length. Shows more rich, complex, fruit flavor than many of the higher-priced heavy hitters.--1986 California Cabernet horizontal. 9,800 cases made. –JL

About Winery

"The beginning of vine planting is like the beginning of mining for precious metals: the winegrower also `prospects'."

- Robert Louis Stevenson,
The Silverado Squatters, 1880

A century later, the Miller family began the journey Stevenson described, establishing Silverado Vineyards in 1981. "It was beautiful land, and it was land that was working," says Diane Miller of their first vineyards, purchased in the 1970s. Diane and Ron sold their grapes to some of Napa's best vintners, who made award winning wines from them year after year. Encouraged, they struck out on their own with the goal of making the best wines the estate could produce at a fair price. This has remained the guiding philosophy over the years. The winery's name, Silverado, comes from the abandoned mining town at the top of the Napa Valley, where Stevenson stayed so many years ago. It is an appropriate symbol: three generations of the Miller family are still "prospecting" for wine, staying true to the idea of coaxing something precious from the soils we are privileged to care for.
