Description
Aromas of savory herbs such as dried bay leaf and thyme join earthy tobacco leaves and sweet clove. The wine hits the palate with a silky, smooth texture and juicy bright red fruits suggesting pomegranate and berries. Well integrated oak, earth, and spice notes complement the fruit and lead to a long cocoa finish.

Here’s a temperate merlot that’s not mimicking cabernet. It’s a tight wine from the cool reaches of Coombsville, with just enough greenness to push back on the lush, blue-fruited ripeness. A sapid, clean red for beef Wellington.

Aromas of pine, plum and redcurrant. Medium-bodied with fresh, mineral character and silky tannins. Bright and cool on the palate. Balanced and juicy. So approachable and delicious that its hard to put down. Drink now.

Structural and persistent, this Merlot fills the mouth with flavors of mixed cherries, coffee and wet tobacco. Tannins are firm while fine grained and lingering, coating the mouth with impressive structure and making a nice accompaniment to a meal. – Elaine Chukan Brown

A mouthwatering, easy-drinking effort, Silverado’s 2021 Merlot Mt. George Vineyard offers up black cherries and vanilla on the nose, adequate concentration on the medium to full-bodied palate and soft, supple tannins on the finish.

Straightforward and tightly focused, with medium-bodied currant, cedar and tobacco flavors that finish with a slightly tannic bite. Best after 2024. 4,500 cases made.
