"...Balanced oak and tannins are a Silverado hallmark."

"Berries is the single best descriptor for this wine showcasing aromas and flavors of black cherries, black raspberries, and blackberries in a juicy version, without being a fruit bomb. Balanced oak and tannins are a Silverado hallmark."

89 points

"The elegant 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa reveals notions of lead pencil shavings intermixed with black cherries, black currants, toast, damp earth. It is a mid-weight, flavorful red with good acidity as well as a moderately long finish. 89 Points"

92 Points

"Dense inky-purple hue. Pretty scents that showcase maple, blackberry and oaky aromas. Well balanced on entry with a pretty blend of focused black fruit, citrus-laced acids and soft, combed tannins. Tart cherry fruit shines in the clean close with coffee and great backing of oaky tannins."

4 out of 5 Stars

"Rich, supple, and fine; a Cabernet with excellent character, good balance and a very long finish, tasting of blackberry, cherry, black currant, toast, roasted nut, and tobacco. 4 Stars"
