Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
This Napa Valley Chardonnay is rich, refined, and layered—just like a proper California white should be. The nose is elegant with aromas of golden apple, ripe pear, lemon curd, and hints of toasted almond and crème brûlée. As it opens, notes of white peach, buttered brioche, and subtle vanilla oak emerge. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet balanced, with bright acidity cutting through the richness. You’ll taste juicy orchard fruits, baked citrus, warm baking spice, and a soft mineral edge. The oak aging is integrated, not overbearing, allowing fruit and structure to shine. The finish is smooth, creamy, and dry with a lingering echo of citrus and hazelnut.
Food Pairings
A classic match for roasted chicken with lemon herb butter, grilled lobster tail, or crab cakes with aioli. It also sings alongside wild mushroom risotto, seared scallops, or creamy pasta primavera. For cheese, go for brie, camembert, or a nutty alpine cheese like comté. Finish with almond tarts, lemon ricotta cake, or vanilla poached pears to complement the wine’s texture and warmth.
Craftsmanship
Silverado is a California wine label that boldly captures the sun-drenched spirit of its vineyards. Its fruit-forward, expressive wines blend modern winemaking techniques with a sense of place, delivering both vibrancy and depth in every glass.
