St. George Terroir Gin
Item # 26361
750mL
Tasting Notes
This unique gin is a tribute to distiller Lance Winters memories of California's Mt. Tam coastal forest. Douglas fir, California Bay laurel, and California Coastal sage are some of the items that make up this one of a kind gin. We found aromas of woody, bark of rosemary and spicy citrus. Pungent but ultimately inviting spirit with a lush texture.

Staff Pick Notes
"A sense of place". That's what terroir means essentially. And it's exactly what St. George Terroir Gin delivers! It's like taking a brisk walk through a beautiful California forest after a soft rain.
On the nose, notes of Douglas fir, bay laurel, sage, and lavender shine through. There's even this beautiful, unexpected note of homemade cola as it evolves in the glass.
The palate brings the Douglas fir and juniper intermingling with bright notes of citrus, warming cinnamon, sage, cardamom, and other spices.
This is by far one of my favorite gins. It is assertive in a cocktail and perfect for any fall/winter creations. A must for any gin lover!

Astor's Glossary of Terms
California
California makes more wine than any other state in the United States. Not only does the state grow a variety of noble grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, there are also plantings of lesser-known varieties such as Nebbiolo, Roussanne and Mourvèdre to name just a few.
Terroir
“Terroir” means earth or soil in French. In the wine world, terroir refers to the physical conditions of a region, a vineyard site, or any parcel of vine-populated land. Terroir is the interplay between soil and climate and the impact of these elements on a wine.
