GEO Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L Magnum)

Cabernet Sauvignon

Coombsville

Inspired by the root word for earth and the name of the vineyard – GEO represents the highest expression of single-vineyard Cabernet from this extraordinary place. Located east of Napa, Mt. George Vineyard is the site of the first grape plantings in Coombsville. Under the care of pioneering Napa vintner Henry Hagen, the vineyard originally known as Cedar Knoll established its reputation in the 1880’s as a source for fine American red wines. Silverado was part of the appellation committee that established the Coombsville AVA and GEO was created in celebration of this milestone.

There's a concentrated and focused feel to this elegant and fragrant cab with aromas of violets and blackcurrants, leading to a smooth and even-paced palate with succulent, long and rich, fruit-soaked tannins.

Dark and brooding, it offers depth and rounded texture, a richness on the midpalate that leads to earthy notes of dried herb, cedar and crushed rock.

Tasting Notes

Floral and sweet fruit aromas, hints of clove and bittersweet chocolate. Full bodied, with good tannin structure and flavors of muddled black cherry, anise and stone fruit.
