Silver
Silver produces Pinot Noir and Bordeaux-style blends from Santa Barbara County, in California's Central Coast. The winery's portfolio centers on two Pinot Noirs: Cuvée Leah Mae, which earned a 93-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, and Coteau Palmer, rated 92 points by the same critic. Trentotto File, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, also received a 92-point assessment from Wine Enthusiast. Santa Barbara County's cool maritime influence and varied microclimates support both the elegance and structure typical of the region's Pinot Noirs and the depth found in its Cabernet-based wines. Silver's focus on these two varietal directions reflects the county's dual strengths as a source for refined cool-climate reds.
