Mt. George Merlot
Merlot
Coombsville
Located east of Napa in Coombsville, Mt. George Vineyard is the site of one of the first grape plantings in the valley in the 19th century. It climbs the western slopes of an ancient volcano whose name the vineyard bears. The cooler climate and deep, gravelly soils derived from volcanic rock and ash provide depth and structure to Silverado Vineyards’ wines.

Points Plush and elegantly sculpted, with lilting cherry and red currant flavors laced with toasty spice, dried herb and coffee bean notes. Finishes with refined tannins.

Points This medium-bodied Merlot offers crunchy currant fruit and apple-skin-like tannins layered with warm spice, mocha notes, and hints of blood orange… an expressive and intriguing wine.
