Tasting note
Cassis, dark cherry and cedar should form the core of this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with bay leaf adding aromatic lift. The 2018 Silverado Estate Grown wine is expected to feel full and structured, its tannins lending grip while acidity holds the fruit in a fresh, balanced line. Peak maturity is projected through 2030, with a horizon ending in 2037; the finish should linger with cassis, spice and a measured, dry edge.
