Silverado Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet 2006
The Wine News:
Winemaker: "Dark red color. A plethora of aromas radiate from the glass – ripe black cherry, plum, dried herbs, white pepper, roasted coffee and earth. On first taste, juicy, well integrated flavors of oak and fruit. Cocoa powder notes highlight this wine, which is seamless in its structure from entry to finish." Wired For Wine: This famous and delicious Napa Valley Cabernet is an amazing quality for this price, over 50% off suggested retails. This medium- to full-bodied wine is fabulous with a grilled rib-eye steak, venison, or rack of lamb followed by a cheese course of Camembert, Brie, or blue cheese.
