SILVERADO VINEYARDS Merlot 'Mt. George Vineyard' 2011

The Mt. George Vineyard is home to some of the oldest, 19th century, Merlot plantings in California. The vineyard is known for gravelly down-slopes of an ancient volcano. High sunlight at low temperatures and well-drained hillside soil highlight this historic vineyard. The 2011 'Mt. George Vineyard' Merlot opens with aromas of red currant, red cherry, dill, sage and suggestions of baking spices which all follow up on the palate. This is a smooth and beautifully textured Merlot which is showing well upon release. (Best 2016-2025) - November, 2016 (OB)
