An elegant Cabernet, it shows off firm structure, generous tannins and depth of color along with aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry, dusty cocoa and cigar box.
Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir features a beautiful silky texture with light, bright aromatics of fresh raspberry and spice. The flavors are rich and complex with a hint of earthiness that blends with cherry and pomegranate.
St Francis Merlot has spicy herb and vanilla overtones, which give way to full strong black fruit on the palate, nuanced with chocolate. Its round, generous tannins give it a big finish.
The origins of St. Francis Vineyards began in 1971 when businessman Joe Martin and his wife, Emma, purchased a 100-acre vineyard known as Behler Ranch in the Sonoma Valley town of Kenwood. For several years, the fruit from this vineyard was sold to local wineries. But in 1979, St. Francis Winery was built and the first vintage of St. Francis wines was produced. Tom Mackey took over as wine maker in 1983 helping St. Francis to pioneer a Sonoma Valley style and identify the varieties that were best suited to the soil of the region. Our St. Francis reviews acknowledge that Tom and St. Francis were the first to plant and bottle Merlot within Sonoma and would later add Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to their portfolio. Our St. Francis ratings distinguish the latter two grape varieties as being the signature wines throughout the St. Francis lines of wine.
