Wine Description
The Story
In 1968, Silverado’s estate vineyard became the fourth planted to Cabernet Sauvignon in the Stags Leap District, now world renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the next two decades, through meticulous field selection, an entirely new clone of Cabernet Sauvignon emerged here. The vines had adapted to Silverado Vineyard’s steep, shale soils to produce fruit with the character and structure for which the Stags Leap District came to be known.
The University of California, Davis acknowledged this unique vine with a ‘Heritage’ designation. It is one of only three Cabernet Sauvignon clones to attain this status––and the only one from Stags Leap District.
Each year, we honor this extraordinary clone distinction with SOLO.
Selection name: Cabernet Sauvignon FPS 30
Selection number: 1996-0-6334-30
Source: Heritage Disney Silverado Clone, Napa, CA
Treatments: Microshoot tip tissue culture therapy
Cabernet Sauvignon FPS 30 is one of three well-respected Cabernet Sauvignon clones that were selected by Phil Freese and Deborah Golino in 1989 from Napa Valley vineyards with a reputation for quality wine production. The Disney Silverado selection was collected from an old vineyard off the Silverado Trail. That vineyard was believed to be planted with the ‘See Clone’ of Cabernet Sauvignon. Microshoot tip tissue culture therapy was used to clean up FPS 30 and is now part of the UC Davis plant material catalogue.
