I have long been a fan of St. George, and this is yet another example of their high quality. Aromas of spice and vanilla with a fascinating orange and lemon oil scent, with cinnamon and chocolate covered cherry. The taste is very much like pecan and pie crust with fruitcake notes that develop later. Clean hardware store wood finish. Beautiful job! — 4 years ago
Surprisingly refreshing and by far better than any seltzer I’ve tasted #summerfun — 4 years ago
The color on this is deep. Wood, brown sugar and I might say toffee on the nose. It’s clearly high proof… I wouldn’t call it hot but it fills the mouth. The finish goes on forever which it should at this proof. Forester Birthday takes this by a mile but it’s hard to complain. Trying it neat. — 2 years ago
Big storm and power just went out at 3 in the afternoon. Breaks my heart to put work aside and open this!
Almost have it 93. The nose is great. Violets, strawberry, and burnt orange peel. Palate is fun too. Slightly reductive, cherry, strawberry, salinity, and minerality.
I purchased this at North Loop Wine / Spirits in Minneapolis. Check out this shop if you haven’t/can. Great selection! Very helpful staff as well. I asked for the best Pinot under $60 and he passed quite a few easy names to give me this. So glad he did! They have a great selection of high end stuff, maybe best in MN?

Italian wine consultant.
15% of Italian Riesling is in this wine.
Since 1970's China Government try to stop people drinking high alcohol spirits, they invested more
money and suport to produce wines. In the era of 2000, Hong Kong wine lover, he wants to do some crazy difficult with impossible story. — 4 years ago
Developed a brown tinge. 13%. By a mile the greatest Pinot deal out there. With some age this is even better. Raspberries,limes, back palate touch bitter, tree bark from Home Depot, herbs. Cardamom? Just a joy to drink. And while I buy their wines by the case they never last long. So I can’t even evaluate their age ability beyond 4 years. Yes a high rating but the wine is just so good. Note: They always make wine on the edge - give it time hours in the glass or years in the bottle - you will be rewarded!!! — 3 years ago
I have long been a fan of St. George for a long time, and this confirms my high opinion of them. Nose of rye spice with vanilla and bananas foster, and on the taste, honey-sweetened tea with clove and pepper, masala tea spices, oak, and bitter chocolate. Orange emerges immediately on the finish with subsequent honey. — 4 years ago

Dia Bonita Albariño, Three Mile Vineyard, Columbia Valley AVA. 23 cases produced, barrel fermented, micro producer worth watching for Washington-state and Oregon-grown Spanish varieties like Albariño and Tempranillo. This is made like a high-end Chardonnay- fruity, crisp but softened via malolactic fermentation. Finish of floral, citrus, orchard fruit flavors with some minerality. — 20 days ago
