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.

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.
