Radio Silence Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 | like a First Growth on Steroids!
Radio Silence Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 pours a deep crimson-purple hue. While delivering incredibly fresh aromas of red and black macerated fruits. And with tantalizing cedar oak spices underscored by crushed red rock minerality. Fleshy and palate-coating going from ripe red fruit to black cherry and blueberry skin. Plus cascading currents of tobacco spices, high toned red floral notes, and a rapid undercurrent of cedar spices. All this atop fine-grained tannins and a finish that lasts for 45-60 seconds. Highly recommend decanting for 30-45 minutes at cellar temperature prior to serving. Enjoy now through 2027++.
More incredible Red Blends
There’s an abundance of superlatives describing the source winery’s wines: “absolute stunner,” “epic length,” and “many, many layers,” of “singular,” “absolutely compelling” wines that deliver “unbelievable fruit on the attack.” One notable critic even found such intensity, depth, and richness, it inspired an incredible comparison (the one we wish we had come up with): suggesting that it was like a First Growth only “injected with steroids.”

While blending and aging in one-quarter new French oak for 24 months. Showing a deep crimson-purple hue in the glass and delivering incredibly fresh aromas of red and black macerated fruits. In addition, tantalizing cedar oak spices underscored by crushed red rock minerality. Radio Silence Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 moves from ripe red fruit to black cherry and blueberry on the palate.

So, millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions shaped the Vaca Mountain range in Napa, and millions of years of erosion have resulted in the jagged peaks and outcroppings we see today in the Stags Leap District, an area stretching a mile wide and three miles in length, sliced in half by the Silverado Trail. The rolling foothills are teeming with the sediment and volcanic debris that has settled over millennia, and the vines planted in these harsh, rocky, well-draining soils have produced some of the most profound wines in all of California’s rich winemaking history.
