The texture is silky smooth with well integrated tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 95% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eThe Merlot comes from the 40-hectare Mt. George Vineyard in Coombsville. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged primarily in 20% new French oak with a small portion in Hungarian oak for 20 months, contributing a deep warming spice baseline. These elements lift the aromatics of fresh pipe tobacco from the glass. This medium-bodied Merlot offers crunchy currant fruit and apple-skin-like tannins layered with warm spice, mocha notes, and hints of blood orange. The finish carries a high-toned, vibrant character, making this an expressive and intriguing wine.\u003cbr\u003e92 Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003ePlush and elegantly sculpted, with lilting cherry and red currant flavors laced with toasty spice, dried herb and coffee bean notes. Finishes with refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.\u003cbr\u003e91 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eThis delicious, approachable wine is quite chocolaty and effusive. Cocoa and candied cherry aromas, cherry syrup and cola flavors on moderate tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silverado Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975869567200,"sku":"107764","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/george.jpg?v=1761072573","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/silverado-vineyards-merlot-mount-george-vineyards-napa-valley-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
