Information about Silversmith Vineyards...

Silversmith Vineyards lies in the Northeast corner of Redwood Valley on the Sunset Bench facing southwest into the heat of the day. The soils of this region are shallow, red clay which restrict production, but which yield intensely flavorful berries from which we extract powerful and flavorful wines.

Redwood Valley was settled in the mid 1850′s and was the first region in Mendocino County to be planted in grapevines. The grapes of this area ripen later in the growing season and produce wines with higher acidity, tannin and color.

Then just fourteen years old, Patrick left the family farm in Sligo, Ireland for a better future. Upon arrival in Boston, he took a job as an apprentice silversmith. After many years spent mastering his craft, Patrick moved west.

In San Francisco, Patrick resumed his craft until he was able to save enough money to buy a farm on the Russian River in the wilds of Mendocino County. In 1873, Patrick and his family moved onto the new farm on the outskirts of what was then a small settlement called Ukiah.

The first member of our family to farm in Mendocino County, Patrick raised hay, hops and nine children. He taught his children to farm with the same values he’d been taught at the engraver’s bench – to love your work and take pride in the results.

For five generations this tradition of craftsmanship has been passed down through our family. Silversmith Vineyards was founded in 1998 on a piece of land not far from Patrick’s original farm.

We dedicate our wines to The Silversmith. We are priviledged to pass the fruits of our labor on to you.

Join our Crowd-Made Wine Project

Crowd-Made Wine is wine that’s been influenced and crafted globally by a large group of people (crowd), rather than a single winemaker. Want to join the crowd and help us make our wine? Just watch the video below and cast your vote!

Don’t worry, no winemaking experience or knowledge is necessary. Every time we ask you to make a decision we’ll share information so you can understand how that decision impacts the wine.

2009 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

ESTATE BOTTLED

This Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% estate grown from our vineyard in Redwood Valley, CA. Our Cabernet grapes tend to have small berries in a loose bunch and they come off the vine late. The extended hang time makes this wine a multilayered treat.

2007 PETITE SIRAH

ESTATE BOTTLED

Silversmith Vineyards grows two acres of Petite Sirah grapes and there are only a little over 7000 acres of this variety in all of California. Petite Sirah loves the sunset bench in Redwood Valley and we love Petite Sirah…we think you will too.
