2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Redwood Valley AVA

Appearance:
Deep garnet with rich ruby undertones, reflecting the wine’s maturity and depth from years of careful aging.

Nose:
Elegant and expressive, with aromas of dark berries, cassis, and black plum layered over hints of cedar, vanilla, and dried herbs. A soft floral note and a touch of earthiness add nuance and complexity.

Palate:
Full-bodied and supple, with generous flavors of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum compote. Rich and sinuous in texture, the wine is framed by velvety tannins and a touch of cocoa and sweet spice. The structure is refined yet powerful, offering both immediate pleasure and long-term aging potential.

Finish:
Long and smooth, with lingering notes of dark fruit, soft oak, and a refined tannic grip that promises cellar longevity.

This estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, made from organic grapes, pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb, roasted mushrooms, and aged cheeses—an elegant choice for both quiet evenings and celebratory dinners.

Vineyard Notes
Silva Road Vineyard is owned by Ethan Silva, his wife Jan and his sister, Josephine and is located in the middle reaches of the Redwood Valley AVA, at an elevation of 975 feet. Here, the Silva Family grows organically farmed Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon on a rocky bench above the headwaters of the Russian River. In contrast to surrounding growing regions, the Redwood Valley is considerably cooler than other areas in the Ukiah valley, producing Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon that slowly matures with elegance and pedigree.
