Silverado’s Mt. George Vineyard in the recently designated Coombsville sub-appellation in the Napa Valley is treasure trove of fine wine. The 2012 Merlot is a stunning red that offers layered fruit complexity, showing note of blueberry, boysenberry and plum along with hints of cedar and spice. Supple and smooth, this is a Merlot of outstanding character with finesse and crowd appeal to spare.
