Silverado Vineyards, Coombsville (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Oct 14, 2015

By Rich Cook

This is a new bottling from Silverado, featuring fruit from the western slopes of Mt. George in Napa Valley’s new Coombsville appellation.  It’s all about the dark side in this expressive wine, with blackberry, damp earth, balanced charred oak notes and brown spice, a moderate tannic grip and a long, dark finish.  Give this a good decant to allow the rich fruit to speak fully, and pair with prime rib of beef in a brown mushroom gravy for a decadent treat.
