Wine Number 30

2006 Skouras Saint George/Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine is notable because it's a case of a grape with multiple names. Many wine drinkers already know that Zinfandel and Primitivo are genetically the same exact grape. But there are many beginner drinkers who wouldn't know the difference [or lack thereof].

The Saint George grape is actually the Agiorgitiko grape, which I find it weird that a Greek winery would change the name of a Greek grape to an English one. I mean I understand it... but I like the local flair of local grapes.

At any rate, the wine was good, a bit light. Not much else to it. Oh, this "blend" is 95% Saint George/Agiorgitiko and %5 Cabernet Sauvignon so it's essentially a Saint George wine with some Cab for flavor and backbone.

Wine Count: 30; Grape Count: 30.
