Putting together a micro blend for Premiere Napa Valley is always fun and exciting. The rule is simply to make the best wine possible, and each year we relish the opportunity.
The 2021 vintage gave us superb fruit to work with, and the proof is in the glass. Your wine is a wonderfully rich and inviting blend balanced with freshness and fine tannins that allow the wine to be both approachable now and ageworthy.
Weston Eidson
Winemaker, Silver Ghost
Weston Eidson is an emerging star in American winemaking, known for his innovative approach, meticulous craftsmanship, and commitment to quality. Originally from Texas, he grew up around wine, recognizing its deep cultural and historical significance, as well as its special place at the dinner table. With a background in law and a successful business career, his appreciation for wine eventually led him to leave the corporate world and immerse himself fully in winemaking.
While attending graduate school in the UK, Weston expanded his knowledge by exploring renowned wine regions from Chile and South Africa to Bordeaux, Alsace, and the Veneto. His journey ultimately brought him to Napa Valley, where he worked the 2012 harvest under Jason Moore of Modus Operandi, quickly acquiring invaluable winemaking skills. He later trained under esteemed winemaker Russell Bevan, refining his expertise in crafting wines that are richly layered, complex, and balanced.
In 2012, Weston founded Silver Ghost Cellars, inspired by his great-grandfather’s Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Known for its elegant, expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, Silver Ghost reflects both Napa’s rich terroir and Weston’s dedication to minimal-intervention winemaking. His wines have earned critical acclaim, positioning him as a rising force in the future of American winemaking.
