Silverado Vineyards’ steep, shale soils and western exposures to the late afternoon sun come together to produce fruit with the character and structure for which the Stags Leap District came to be known. The vineyard produces Cabernet with excellent acid structure and fine-grained tannin, all classic characteristics of wines from the region.

The 2023 Abel Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning representation of the Stags Leap District, radiating a deep garnet red hue in the glass. The nose is highly expressive, led by a vibrant core of red and black cherries layered with sophisticated hints of Jordan almonds, licorice, and a touch of light baking spice. This complexity carries onto a palate characterized by a lush texture and a bright beam of red fruit, which perfectly balances the concentrated flavors of plum compote and nuanced notes of mocha and espresso. With subtle undertones of brown sugar adding a touch of richness, the wine maintains exceptional length and persistence.
