Country: France

Vintage: 2014
Score: 91
Very pretty aromas of chocolate, forest floor and berries follow through to a full body, tangy acidity and a long and flavorful finish. Tangy. Better in 2019 but excellent now.

Drinking Window: 2017 - 2024
From: 2014 Bordeaux: A September Surprise (Feb 2017)
The 2014 Cap St. Georges is a soft, supple wine to drink now and over the next few years. Succulent dark cherry, spice, leather and tobacco add to the wine’s considerable near- and medium-term appeal.

The bright red currant and cherry fruit is enlivened by slightly perky acidity, while a red licorice note and a hint of bramble line the finish.

Producer: Cap St George
Wine Region: France, Bordeaux, Saint-Emilion
Variety: Proprietary blend
Color / Type / Sweetness: Red / Table / Dry
Reviewed By: Neal Martin
The 2014 Cap St George has an austere and rather ephemeral bouquet that needs more presence. The palate is ripe on the entry with crisp acidity, balanced yet missing density and length. It is a satisfactory easygoing Saint Emilion.

Points: 87
The debut vintage shows fresh black raspberry and spice on the nose. The wine is soft textured, medium bodied, supple and an early drinking charmer. The wine was produced from 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. The wine [...] aged in 45% new, French oak barrels.
