VINEYARDS: The fruit for our 2018 Pinot Noir comes from the Central Coast with 60% coming from Sta. Rita Hills and 40% coming from our sister property Chalone Estate. Perfect for growing Pinot Noir, our vineyards nestled in the Sta. Rita Hills are marine-based and the weather is consistently cool thanks to moist ocean breezes. The thin, limestone-rich soils of Chalone Vineyard produce low yields of grapes bursting with rich, intense flavors and impeccable balance. VINTAGE: The 2018 growing...

The Rockpile Appellation, contiguous to Dry Creek Valley, is defined by ridgetops with elevations ranging from 800 to 2,100 feet above sea level. The appellation’s size is limited by its rugged terrain. Specializing in hearty red varietals, Rockpile is a perfect site to showcase Sonoma County as the world’s premier location for Zinfandel. Steep, well-drained hillsides with shallow, rocky topsoil provide for less vigorous vines, smaller berries and intensely flavored Zinfandel. The soils are...

VINTAGE: The 2018 growing season started off with slightly lower than average rainfall totals, however, due to their arrival in February and March the soils were near saturation during budbreak and heading into bloom. The onset of a moderately warm May and June led to prolific growth in the vines and a slightly above average crop level on the vines. June and July were above average in temperature which allowed veraison to progress from late July into August. Harvest was unseasonably cool,...

Notes:The first pour offers an endlessly rich density of meaty, smoky, black fruit aromas while the wine saturates the mouth with deep flavors of black licorice, bramble fruit, black pepper, allspice, bacon, and char.

Notes: TD-9 is a proprietary blend that celebrates a bold move. In 1973, in the space of a few months, John Shafer went from riding morning commuter trains in Chicago to teaching himself to drive a TD-9 tractor in our Napa Valley vineyard. He’d never grown grapes or made wine in his life. That spirit of risk-taking and adventure still guides Shafer today and inspired the creation of this new wine.

Nigori is the way sake first appeared when it was brewed for the Imperial Court in Kyoto as well as for most of its 2,000-year history.

Good deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of cassis, licorice, game, tobacco leaf and subtle brown spices. Velvety-sweet and deep, with hints of tobacco leaf, mint and herbs giving definition to the middle palate. Nicely bright but youthfully tight wine, finishing with broad tannins. Carrying a moderate 13.5% alcohol. Still tight, but then this won't be released until next winter.

Vintage: 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 par t 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 for tunate to have 100% of our fruit harvested with no smoke impact....

SIMI. SYNONYMOUS WITH SONOMA COUNTY: When Giuseppe and Pietro Simi immigrated to Northern California, they settled in Sonoma County because it reminded them of their native Tuscany—where wine had been made for centuries.

Background: The first red wine Frans Malan, founder of Simonsig Wine Estate, released in 1970 was a Pinotage. In the early seventies he was a pioneer in using new small French oak barriques for his Pinotage. Today, the Redhill Pinotage is made from a vineyard grown on the famous red hills of Simonsig Estate. The red soil originates from decomposed shale and is regarded to be the best soil for growing premium red wine. This is due to the excellent moisture retention capacity and good drainage....

The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is deep, textured and impeccably balanced. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, crushed rocks and spices blossom in the glass. Here, too, the overall sense of harmony is utterly captivating. A gorgeous wine, the 2008 stands out for its exceptional polish. The style is a bit deeper, richer and more layered than the Pelagrilli, but at the same time remains deeply marked by the prevalence of fruit from the northern side of Montalcino.

Plenty of sunshine, consistently warm, dry days followed by fog and coastal influences and cool temperatures at night ensured even fruit development with little variation throughout vineyard blocks.
