"The 2009 vintage was a great one for this bottling, ... It feels nice and crisp and dry, with polished, complex citrus fruit, white flower, peach and mineral flavors."

"...is a fresh and vibrant wine with great citrus aromas and flavors. This is a great seafood wine."

"Sauvignon blanc has always been an important wine at Silverado, despite its greater fame for chardonnay, cabernet and merlot. This vintage, a true white Bordeaux-style blend of sauvignon (92 percent) and semillon (8 percent), is one of the finest yet. The Miller Ranch is located south of Yountville, at the cooler end of the Napa Valley, and the fruit from this spot is well balanced, yielding wines with fresh acidity and alcohol levels that are modest by today's standards. Indeed, this wine is slightly below 14 percent ABV. It is crisp and fresh, showing notes of tart citrus as well as the richer aromas of red citrus such as tangerine and orange. While it is perfectly wonderful to quaff, it is made for the table, and thus structured to be served with food, where it will shine. 92 Points"
