Jamie Goode picks out Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon
Wednesday, 4 May, 2011 by NickyB
Many thanks to Jamie Goode, highlighted Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 on his website as one of his best examples of “very drinkable Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons” that were “finished, and not just tasted”!
Silverado Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Napa Valley, California
14.9% alcohol. Rich blackcurrant and blackberry fruit with some spicy, grippy tannins. Grippy with good balance between the ripe fruit and tarry, tannic structure. It carries the alcohol really well: a satisfying wine. 91/100
To taste the Silverado range, visit World Wine Agencies at LWTF Stand No. F10
