1997 Silverado Estate Napa

[ddf68]

I had this last fall at the winery and liked it a lot. Bright, red, silky, and elegant. I thought it showed some Stag's Leap character and the winery people confirmed that it is 65% fruit from the SL appellation. Pretty good deal for $30. I've got six in the cellar waiting for WW to give the green light.

Also had the Stag's Leap and Reserve and was less impressed. They were good, a bit tighter, and certianly more "serious" wines, but didn't justify the extra $$$, IMHO. Time will no doubt prove me wrong, but @ $65 and $90 it was easy to say no.
