The wine has an energetic and approachable nose of lime zest, pineapple, and passion fruit. Citrus and tropical fruit flavors of dekopon, mango, lemon, and lime sorbet overlap with a core of white flowers and minerality. The textured mouthfeel is medium-bodied with a crisp, fresh finish. This Mediterranean-style stone winery was founded in 1981 by Walt Disney's daughter, the late Diane Disney Miller, and her husband Ron Miller, and is built on a small hill off the Silverado Trail in the heart of the Stags Leap District. Silverado is named after an abandoned silver mine near the current winery. Ron and Diane decided to move to Napa in 1968 when they purchased land in the Stags Leap District from Harry See, son of the founder of See's Candy. They planted Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon on this land and sold the grapes they grew to nearby wineries. In 1976, California Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon won first place at the Paris Tasting, beating out France's Grand Vin. The grapes used for that Cabernet Sauvignon were from Stags Leap District, and in fact, there is a record that the grapes grown by Ron and Diane were sold to each of the wineries that won first place. Riding on the momentum of the Paris Tasting, Ron and Diane began building a winery in 1981, determined to bring the best wine Stags Leap District could produce to the market at a fair price. They now own a total of six vineyards. The winery, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, meticulously vinifies the grapes from these six vineyards in small batches, and the handcrafted wines reflect Silverado's land, philosophy, and wine style. In their relentless pursuit of quality, Silverado is constantly researching and developing viticulture and winemaking, striving to constantly improve vine spacing, training methods, rootstock selection, new yeasts, custom barrels, and the latest equipment for a gentler pressing process. Each vineyard uses different cultivation methods to suit the soil, climate, and grape variety of the vineyard. Today, the name "Silverado Vineyards" represents the Miller family's long-standing commitment to Napa Valley wine. The Stags Leap District is one of the smallest AVAs in Napa Valley, and one of its most well-known wine-producing regions.
