92 points, Gold at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge Vintage Notes From abundant winter rains to cool spring weather, warm summer temperatures and October’s wildfires, 2017 is a memorable vintage. Plentiful winter rains helped refresh our vines and led to a cool, mild spring. Due in part to these warmer temperatures, 90% of Napa Valley’s grape tonnage was harvested before the wine country wildfires began. Based on Silverado’s house wine style, we typically pick early and were fortunate to have 100% of our fruit harvested with no smoke impact. Tasting Notes Robust aromatics of florals, black cherry liquor, crushed hazelnut, and hints of anise, baking spices and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with good tannin structure and flavors of black cherry crisp, blackberries, sweet dark plum, mocha, violets and a long seamless finish.
