  Located east of Napa, Mt. George Vineyard is the site of the first grape plantings in Coombsville. Under the care of pioneering Napa vintner Henry Hagen, the vineyard originally known as Cedar Knoll established its reputation in the 1880's as a source for fine American red wines. In 1988, Silverado Vineyards purchased and restored a significant portion of the historic site. Silverado was part of the appellation committee that established the Coombsville AVA in 2012. To celebrate this milestone in 2012, Silverado produced the first vintage of GEO, a single-vineyard Cabernet. Inspired by the root word for earth and the name of the vineyard – GEO represents the highest expression of single-vineyard Cabernet from this extraordinary place. The cooler climate and deep, gravelly soils derived from volcanic rock and ash of the ancient volcano whose name the vineyard now bears, provide depth and structure to Silverado Vineyards' wines. Rich, concentrated, and well-knit layers of black cherry liquor, cocoa, nutmeg, toasted oak, and tea leaves. Dense tannins and great acidity provide balance and structure to this full-bodied Cabernet for the ages.
