2015 - SOLO Cabernet Sauvignon

Awarded 92 points from Wine Spectator.

In 1968, Harry See planted the Silverado Vineyard to Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the next two decades with careful vine selection and cultivation, the Silverado Clone emerged becoming the only Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon designated as a “Heritage Clone”, by the University of California, Davis. Each year, we honor this select clone designation with SOLO.

Gold, 2021 TexSom International Wine Awards Tasting Notes Bright red plum, lively cherry fruit, red currant, and hints of tobacco leaf and sage. A full-bodied palate with mineral nuances and an elegant structure. Subtle notes of coffee and vanilla linger on the finish. Vintage Notes The 2015 growing season in Napa Valley started out with unseasonably warm temperatures in the late winter and early spring. This resulted in an early bud break and bloom. Colder temperatures in May (during the peak of bloom) caused uneven fruit set which ultimately resulted in a much smaller crop in 2015, compared to both average yields and the three abundant years that preceded it. As a result, winemakers worked together with vineyard crews and employed new technologies, like optical sorting, to ensure they picked and crushed only the best quality grapes. The harvest was one of the earliest on record in Napa Valley.
