Silverado 2011 Estate Grown Mt. George Vineyard Merlot (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Silverado / Estate Grown Mt. George Vineyard

Red plum compote is at the center of this wine, a 100% varietal, with hearty bursts of herb and green pepper, as well as savory spice. From the cooler Coombsville appellation, it is soft, round and on the paler, thinner side of Napa’s ripeness spectrum, more restrained.
