Certified Sustainable, Organic or Biodynamic Green Certified

Region: America / California / Sonoma County

A true pioneer, Tribute earned the distinction of being the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic® wine from Sonoma County and one of the first from North America. Made entirely from estate-grown grapes, this Bordeaux blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the complexity and individuality of Benziger’s Sonoma Mountain estate. Lots are fermented separately and matured in oak barrels after blending.

  • Sonoma County

    Sonoma Valley AVA is in southern Sonoma County, flanked by the Sonoma Mountains to the west and the Mayacamas to the east. The climate is moderated by the Pacific Ocean’s cool summer fogs and the influence of San Pablo Bay to the south. St. Francis owns 600 acres of carefully chosen, diverse Sonoma County vineyards. The winery’s estate vineyards give it complete control over growing and production, a cornerstone to St. Francis’ quality philosophy. Each of the four estate-owned vineyards has its own soil profile and unique mesoclimate that forms a “tapestry of terroirs” carefully matched to the grape varieties grown there.
