🏆GOLD MEDAL WINNER – 2026 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMPETITION
Silvara 2022 Carménère | Columbia Valley
Our 2022 Carménère opens like a quiet revelation — a wine that carries both history and mystery in every swirl. Once a nearly forgotten Bordeaux varietal, Carménère has found a vibrant new home in Washington’s Columbia Valley, where long autumn light and cool evening air coax out its most expressive traits. In our cellar, it becomes something unmistakably Silvara: graceful, layered, and deeply rooted in place.
The aromatics rise first — black cherry, wild blackberry, and a breath of green peppercorn, threaded with dried herbs. On the palate, the wine moves with a velvety confidence: dark plum, cocoa, and warm spice unfold over soft, supple tannins. A touch of toasted oak adds quiet structure, guiding the wine toward a lingering finish of cedar, thyme, and savory depth.
