2018 | Silverado Vineyards | Mt. George Merlot

Hailing from a cooler-climate area just east of downtown Napa, where it’s grown on gravelly soils of volcanic rock, this red offers up ripe mulberry, coffee, and pencil shavings. A big, bold character emerges with dusty tannins and a mineral core.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: From an estate-grown site in the relatively cool-climate appellation, this 100% varietal wine is robust in red cherry and plum, with an herbal complexity. Fine tannins coat the palate within a context of integrated, spiced oak.

Producer Information

Silverado Vineyards is a winery located on the Silverado Trail in the Stags Leap District AVA of Napa Valley, California. Silverado's key grape varieties are Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. There are also plantings of various other varieties including Merlot and Sangiovese. The business was established by the Millar family in 1981 and today has almost 160 hectares (400 acres) of vines.The land that formed the initial Silverado Vineyards estate was purchased by the Millar family eleven years earlier. Initially, the family sold their grapes to other wineries in the region, but realized the potential of the grapes grown on their land and decided to make and bottle their wines under the Silverado label. Throughout the 1980s and '90s, the Millars purchased land in both Napa Valley and Carneros, adding the Firetree, Mt George and Soda Creek Canyon vineyards to their estate.
