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.

The 2023 Mt. George Petit Verdot unfolds with a rich and expressive nose, revealing vibrant aromas of pomegranate, ripe cherry, and plum woven around a deep, dark fruit core, all accented by a subtle touch of Alderwood smoke. On the palate, this wine showcases a firm body balanced by an elegant front and mid-palate, where a striking freshness lifts the deep, dark fruit profiles. Layers of dense blackberry and a hint of spice command the palate before giving way to a refined, mineral finish.
