SOLO Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

Stags Leap District

In 1968, Silverado Vineyard became the fourth planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in the Stags Leap District. Over the next two decades, meticulous field selection created an entirely new clone of Cabernet Sauvignon. The University of California, Davis designated this unique vine with the Disney-Silverado Heritage clone. It is one of only three Cabernet Sauvignons to attain Heritage status – and the only one from Stags Leap District. Each year, we honor this extraordinary clone with SOLO.

Points
Seductive yet savory aromas of ripe cherries, mocha, cinnamon and loam… refined and elegant, with a softly tannic, lingering finish.

Points
Ripe and focused, this red offers a juicy, compact core of red currant and plum notes, laced with a piercing mineral streak, while light savory and floral hints dot the finish.

Points
This has a fruity nose of blueberry jam and berry compote. Freshly grated nutmeg, too. It’s medium-bodied and juicy with layers of ripe fruit and spice.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of dark cocoa, ripe raspberry, and flint/mineral notes open up to sweet ripe plum, black cherry, and an oak expression of lightly toasted brioche. Full-bodied, exuberant plum and red cherry fruit flavors without a hint of the irrational. Cocoa and a hint of anise join the fruit in an elegant balance along with the oak, acid, and tannin. Supremely focused, but generous with a long finish.
