GEO Cabernet Sauvignon

Coombsville

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. 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. Silverado was part of the appellation committee that established the Coombsville AVA and GEO was created in celebration of this milestone.
