In 1981, Ron and Dian Miller established Silverado Vineyards to make wine from the historic vineyards of their estate. Napa pioneers first planted these ranches to vines between 18965 and 1895. Each vineyard played an important role in establishing the reputation of its appellation: Carneros, Coomsville, Yountville and Stags Leap District. The beautiful fruit from these vineyards is the exclusive source of Silverado Vineyards' Estate and Single Vineyard wines - the Miller family's highest expression of the Napa Valley they love and admire. Generations of the Miller family hope you enjoy our Cabernet Sauvignon for many more years to come. 

Perfectly ripe cherry and plum flavors and hints of apricot and toasted oak lead to a long finish.

Heritage
MT. GEORGE VINEYARD – Located east of Napa, Mt. George Vineyard is the site of one of the first grape plantings in the valley in the 19th century. Mt. George produces wines with intense fruit flavors, dark color, palate density, and classic structure.

SILVERADO VINEYARD – Silverado Vineyard is home to the namesake winery. It was on this site that Harry See planted Cabernet Sauvignon in 1968 that UC Davis later designated the Disney-Silverado Heritage Clone.

Soils & Climate
The sloping, gravelly soils and sunny exposure of Silverado Vineyard pairs perfectly with western exposures to the late afternoon sun and Mt. George Vineyard’s cooler climate and deep volcanic soils provide depth and structure to these wines.
