This is a medium-bodied, multilayer Zinfandel with a dark red-purple color, rich cherry and berry aromas, complex black cherry, raspberry and black pepper flavors in a satisfyingly long 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.
Served at 18°C; match with meat dishes or roasted meats.
14 months in new American oak.
Drink nicely now and can be cellared for another 5 years.
