Hidden high in the Santa Cruz Mountains lies a unique winery and vineyard operated by founder/winemaker Jerold O'Brien. Established in 1979, Silver Mountain Vineyards is located at an elevation of 2,100 feet and enjoys a spectacular view of the Monterey Bay and surrounding redwood forest.

Estate Organic Vineyard
Warm summer days and cool nights balance to produce a longer hang-time for our fruit, maximizing their flavor. The estate certified organic vineyard grows Mount Eden clone Chardonnay, and we purchase Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes from dry farmed, hillside vineyards.

Award-Winning Wines
At Silver Mountain, we are devoted to the production of robust and complex world-class wines. Our premier wines are marked by quality, richness of flavor and layers of complexity. Silver Mountain Vineyards award-winning fine wines include:
Estate Chardonnay
Alloy (Bordeaux blend)
Pinot Noir
Zinfandel
Rosé of Pinot Noir

Why the name Silver Mountain?
Jerold is a firm believer that the mountain philosophy of independence and challenge is pivotal to producing strong character, both in people and in grapes. The name Silver Mountain calls to mind the special qualities that characterize this appellation and contribute to the distinctive mountain flavor of these fine wines. Additionally, Jerold was active in commodity futures trading in the 1970s and used profits from silver trades to help him buy the land.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
