We gathered over 5 decades of combined family (Harry, Ellen, John, Lil’ Ellen, and Tim) wine knowledge and experience and applied it to every aspect of Silver Stag. Carefully researching everything from site location and microclimates to rootstock and clonal selection we determined that we had found “IT”, a special and unique place to plant the seeds of our dream – of making one of Napa Valley’s finest Cabernet Sauvignons.

We hope that every time someone shares a glass of Silver Stag Napa Valley Cabernet, they enjoy the experience of one family’s ambition; a truly hand-crafted wine from one of the world’s greatest appellations, made with care and passion.

Silver Stag Winery sits on a prime piece of Tulocay acreage in the heart of Napa Valley, just east of the town of Napa and about three miles from the Bay. Planted in plums back at the end of the nineteenth century, the soil is rich enough—and distinct enough—to have earned it consideration as an official viticultural appellation.

The vineyard is defined by a gentle swale that sits at the foot of Mount George. Its microclimate, comparable to "cool Bordeaux", is a bit warmer than Carneros, but it still feels the marine intrusions flowing up the path of the Napa River. The effect is to extend the time on the vine, yielding smaller berries with less tannin and far more concentration than the Napa average.

Silver Stag has planted the majority of its land in Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Cab Franc and Petit Verdot.He used these business tools (together with improvements in product quality) to drive Buena Vista's sales from 160,000 cases annually to more than 500,000 cases.
