| Description: | Silverado Vineyards Geo Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1988, Ron and Diane Miller, purchased the Mt George Vineyard, the site of the first vinifera plantings in the Coombsville Ava. Situated in a quiet corner of the Napa Valley a few miles east of the city of Napa, Mt George is a vineyard of undeniable strength. As the 20th anniversary of Silverado's first Mt George harvest approached in 2012, the decision was made to make a wine for the occasion. It is called Geo – Greek for "Earth" and short for "George" – and it represents the highest expression of single-vineyard Cabernet from this extraordinary place. Aromas of black cherry liquor, crushed hazelnut, tilled earth, and dried rose petal. Decadent and rich on the palate with flavors of sweet dark plum and cocoa powder. Well-integrated tannins lead to a seamless finish. Pair Geo with Chicken with Chunky Olive Tapenade. Review:. Black, inky earthiness defines the nose and palate, along with a round, silky mouthfeel. Cocoa and dried violets appear against a slightly dusty backdrop, while notes of leather, black olive, and slate are soul-stirring. This vintage is GEO's most elegant to date, but its robust, statuesque character remains intact. -Tasting Panel 96 Points.
