Silverado Vineyards Description
In 1968, Harry See planted the Silverado Vineyard to Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the next two decades with careful vine selection and cultivation, the Silverado Clone emerged becoming the only Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon designated as a “Heritage Clone”, by the University of California, Davis. Each year, we honor this select clone designation with SOLO.
James Suckling: 93 Points
A firm and silky red with blackberry, lavender and lilac aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, firm and refined. A little subdued now but should open with a few years of bottle age. Drink in 2018.
Vinous: 93 Points
A dark, brooding wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon SOLO captures the personality of this great Napa Valley vintage in spades. Beams of supporting tannin give the wine its shape and overall intensity. A host of black cherry, plum, smoke, menthol and graphite notes fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. The tannins need time to soften a bit, but there is more than enough depth and inner sweetness to support a good number of years of fine drinking.
Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points
This is 100% varietal, from a heritage clone named for the owner and the winery, the Disney Silverado Heritage Clone. It contributes a dusty earthiness to the wine, a density and purity of fruit deep in dense blueberry and blackberry unctuousness. Cedar and graphite season it well, as firm, thick tannins fill up the finish.
