1990 Silverado Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Reserve

Cabernet Sauvignon: 750ml

$89.99

about this wine:

"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. Like all SLD Cabernets, it's rock soft. On land that has supported vines since the 1880s, our home vineyard was the third property planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in what would later become the Stags Leap District, and fruit from this property helped establish the area's reputation in the 1970s. Our Single-Vineyard Selection is produced entirely from grapes grown in this vineyard, which stretches across the gentle slopes below the winery's tasting room. It displays the ripe and complex fruit, supple texture, and solid structure that helped define the District, the most distinctive Cabernet-growing region in the Napa Valley. Grapes were picked fully ripe with yields of 4.3 tons to the acre. Fermentation was followed by an extended maceration for an average of 25 days on the skins. The wine averaged 22 months in French oak barrels, 80 percent of which were new. The 1,446 cases of this all-Cabernet blend were bottled in September 2003."

Amazing fruit purity and depth to this stunning wine (though one bottle tried tasted drier and tannic), rich with bright, sharply focused blackcherry, currant, plum, anise and cedary tobacco, showing concentration and complexity.--California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2015. 2,994 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.
