Tasting Notes
Our 2017 Silver Seeker Cabernet opens with tantalizing aromas of red and blue fruit with hints of wet stone and graphite. Loaded with flavors of plum and red currant from the start, a slight minerality further lifts to a firmly-structured midpalate, and an elegantly long finish.
Vineyard Notes
Silver Seeker Vineyard is named for the 19th century miners that traveled to the Napa Valley seeking fortunes in silver. Located along the historic Silverado Trail, this eastern St. Helena site provides a warm climate for early ripening, yielding a plush Cabernet Sauvignon with concentrated red fruit flavors and a finish that is melting, elegant and long.
