Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon GEO Coombsville 750ml
Product Description
From the gravelly hillside of this historic estate vineyard at the base of Mt. George, the source of the volcanic soils, GEO is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot, with small amounts of petit verdot, cabernet franc and malbec. The wine has the coolness of Coombsville fruit: a full-on sour- cherry saturation that makes the tannins feel sweet. Brisk and vibrant, it’s a wine for beef carpaccio.

Expert Reviews
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.
This is a 100% varietal wine that hails from the producer’s Mount George Vineyard in the relatively cool appellation. Woody and herbal, it offers integrated layers of blueberry, cranberry and red currant. Tangy acidity boosts the dense underbelly of tannin and oak, while the finish is awash in crushed rock.
