Robust but still stylish wine with a deep purple color, plenty of blackberry and black pepper and other spice aromas and concentrated black fruit and blueberry flavors with hints of tobacco in a smooth finish; named after St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis was established by Joe Martin with his business partner Lloyd Canton in 1979 and is now making some highly-acclaimed varietal wines that showcase the terroirs of Sonoma.
Allow 30 minutes for breathing and serve at 18°C; match with slightly spicy BBQ meats.
14 months in French and American oak & 6 months for bottle aging.
Enjoy now or within 3 years.
