Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider 92 Points

Flowers, cinnamon, and plums form the core of the wine. On the palate, the wine is plush, soft, and fresh, with sweetness ,and energy on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine is produced from blending 84% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. 13.9% ABV. 3.55 pH. This is perfect for early drinking pleasure, yet it can be aged for more complexity as well. Drink from 2025-2037. 91-93 Pts.

The 2022 Saint Georges is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black raspberries, kirsch, and baked blueberries leap from the glass, followed by suggestions of smoked meats and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is light on its feet and refreshing, with soft, well-managed tannins and a lively finish.
